Come on, really? Some of those are legit (although manageable if you do things right), but how many web Apps truly need to worry about accommodating terminal based browser users?

Unless Stallman is in your target market that's probably something you don't need to consider for any longer than fifteen seconds.

There is a simple argument for making sure that a web site looks good in a terminal based browser (note: web site, not web app).

This is how Google sees your web site.

Sure, there are lots of meta data enhancements and Google is probably much smarter than it was 10 years in extracting data from your js gobbled up web page (as we know, they even try to interpret javascript to some extent).

But it still boils down to this: The easier you make it for Google to get at the text of your web site, the better for your page rank.

You'd be surprised how commonly used terminal browsers are.
