@ntnsndr I agree with everyone who said it may not be worth switching if terminal Emacs is working for you, sounds like you may not need much of what the GUI version offers. Still, IMO it's worth experimenting. I imagine there might be occasional conflicts with keybindings between your terminal and Emacs. It's also nice knowing that everything can be configured in your init.el. E.g. if you want to turn off scroll bars, you do that in init.el rather than having to also manage terminal settings.

@ntnsndr @bignose I'm curious what specifically bothers you about the GUI... I'd bet you could get a minimal-looking GUI #Emacs pretty easily. Have you tried any themes besides the default? Prot's modus themes are a nice place to start, they're built-in.

It's really nice to have more fonts and font sizes, and to be able to display images alongside text. I include a lot of images in my personal org notes, I think I'd miss that if I was forced to switch to terminal Emacs.
