One of the nice things about the terminal is that things stay consistent for decades or more - people are not chasing fashion trends all the time, as is happening with the Web and graphical UIs.
Nobody is being forced to use a particular style and color scheme and we don't have repeated redesigns which remove functionality for the sake of user friendliness or minimalism.

This. Plugins deliver value much more than graphical design. I also often tell myself that working in emacs is exhausting because it displays only valuable information => my brain works 100% of the time when I'm in front of it :-)
