Comment (by mantepse):

 For the record, this is the decision Axiom (maybe better known here as
 FriCAS) made a few decades ago, output is ascii-art.  The downside is, of
 course, that you cannot copy output into the clipboard and reuse it as
 input.  However, especially for symbolic expressions involving sums,
 products, powers, fractions, the ascii-art is a great convenience!

 Back to sage, as mentioned by Marc, also (small) matrices are always
 typeset as ascii-art, similar to Dynkin diagrams.  Are there any others?
