Speaking as one who used to use a 630MTG with layers under UNIX and
is now using a vt220 with VMS,  I agree.  

Just now though, I'd be happy to get a larger display with say 35 lines on
the screen and a paper-white phosphor.  In part I'm a bit more tolerant
of the plain terminal because I'm using emacs and that will sort of give me
windows.

Followups to comp.terminals please....
