This was my first thought. I don't see that there's a value the ethos
and style (if that's the right word) to have a slow creep away from
supporting just a text interface. It's baked in support for people with
visual impairments if nothing else, and future-proof. 

If I wanted that kind of experience, I'd just fall back to static
hypertext on a browser and be done with it.
