Programming is sadly still pretty much text-based. How many characters do you display on your monitor? Could you display as many with a smaller font on a smaller display?

I don't think screen resolution is the bottleneck in information transfer here.

I think it is great that it is text-based. Can you imagine searching for code without text?

Or diffs. Diffing in visual languages is a nightmare.
