> finch's sudo-graphical ncurses interface is a little awkward.

It tries to replicate all of the windows that the GUI interface creates, but in a text environment where you can only view one window at a time. It's almost like someone didn't want to figure out a way to redesign the interface to work better in a text environment (and maybe just take some cues from the text-based irc clients out there).

[ This may be somewhat inaccurate, I've had little experience with it, but this was my impression. It left a bad taste in my mouth.]
