The community around GNU and Emacs seem to love the 70s Unix terminal aesthetic and hate anything resembling a modern GUI. I think that's a major reason their software is never going to become all that popular by itself, at best products built on top of them will be.
Dude I use emacs most of the day precisely because I want to escape all the unixy nonsense as soon as I can and simply deal with a malleable, reactive environment.
