>No, when the system you're interfacing to is itself a calendar/moleskin-notebook/radioknob, it is not "skeuomorphism" to present the user with a calendar/moleskin-notebook/radioknob interface.
That's the precise definition of skeuomorphism.
It's skeuomorphism not because it's a command line interface but because it's green and black, which is a nostalgia based design decision not a ux based one.
I can't remember exactly but there was some CRT based decision for earlier consoles to be green and black, that this console is aping it just screams skeuomorphism.
The example I looked at wasn't green-and-black; it was a monospace font, cool light grey on warm dark grey, with a colored directory listing. In other words, an xterm.
