So... you're loading a HTML/CSS engine to display a terminal... And how is this better than just the native API on each platform (Win32/Coco/Gtk/QT)?

I mean, look at the Unix/X11 platform. xterm was the normal player there but it also had some issues with RAM usage and code size... which sprang "xvt" and then "rxvt", two tiny terminal programs... and then the libraries for just terminal emulation came along.

But... adding more code? To do a simple thing? There's got to be a reason behind it, and it better be good.
