I don't get the intention of the author. No, I mean, I get that he wants a 80x25 terminal "eventually" but I don't get how exactly. He says it himself that he has multiple different displays, so even if he did manage to get his text only terminal, it will be microscopic on one of the displays, giant on another etc. For me personally, the whole point of terminal rendered by graphic pipeline is that I can get terminal the same size, same font size, and same everything regardless if I use 1080p scaled to 150%, or native 4K or some ancient LCD display on some old laptop (remember 1024x600?). Ok, maybe it is not religiously pure way and maybe it is not as robust and stable way as pure text, but we do get usable terminal in return at least.
