Can anyone provide *one* good reason why you would need anything

built only for text mode)
Why would I ever need anything else?
I use a GUI-based text editor for copying-and-pasting because there are
some mailing lists that insist on providing patches inline, not as an
attachment, and Thunderbird doesn't have the "Insert file" function.
Copying and pasting from terminal emulators damages the tab characters.
