Probably your needs don't align with the philosophy.
I also use `Thunderbird`, as I receive HTML emails.
`Firefox`,
Agreed.
Jeez, man! I'm answering to s many e-mails at once, that I might as well
write a script for downloading, `sed`-ing the e-mail, answering to it and
copying it, then pasting it deleting garbage..

Instead of depending on it's limits, do yourself a favor and learn how to use

I feel the same way.
Even the scrollback patched into St doesn't seem right (unless there's some
other patch, I don't remember).
Tmux fixes that, and.. well.. I prefer using Tmux, and it's pre-installed on
OpenBSD, so what the hell?
multiple cut-n-paste buffers? Could be one of more important
Well.. althought I absolutely love anonymity and freedom (of speech and in

wants I2P and Yggdrasil or some combination of that/something similar to be
internet 2.0... so problems like that would exponantially rise.

In general, I agree with that statement. Most of the terminals are
