I guess the comment was about the fact that one still has to use
something besides a Unicode terminal to have LaTeX working.

I haven't tried IPython notebooks on my own computer, but do I
understand it right that it's something similar to what one sees on
live.sympy.org and www.sagenb.org?  Those are cool things and I agree
that, having them, pretty printing on the console is becoming
considerably less important.  (Slightly like ASCII plots vs. graphical
plots.)
