The new look steam got recently looks great but it's absolutely awful performing on my machine... Videos keep playing after I leave the store page, it sucks up memory and processing in the background and recently consumed so many connects to the X server I couldn't launch new programs.

one of the most important things about text based interfaces is reproducability. Being able to run commands and get the expected results every time and easily share it with others.

Those are handy features which will probably prevent the terminal from ever dying.
