If it cannot run in the terminal, it cannot look good.
Yeah. Who need graphics and sound? (I used a windowing system on alpha-numeric terminals, long ago... Funky, but it worked! The C code is probably still available...)
I assume you refuse to use a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse?! Perhaps a Televideo 910 would suit you? (I used one for years! Solid keyboard, 19,200 baud communication rate...full duplex, of course. )
Looks like a respectable device. I may hunt one down at some point. Currently I am using something similar
I'd ask you, which programming languages does Nano do syntax highlighting for? (Or would you eschew such wimpy reliance on software? )
Nano has been evolving significantly over past ten years or so. On my distro, there always was some syntax highlight as long as I have been on the distro. Output of ls /usr/share/nano right now:

Why didn't you just use Emacs for your email?
For that I should have gotten into Emacs much earlier. I only got into it very recently. Org mode won me over.
"What it represents"? As I'd thought: It's a religious thing...
Yes, that's what I am talking about. For example.
