Even if numbers have the same width (they always should, in non-shitty fonts), they'll fuck up whenever they're hex or letters are used to divide by section or volume, or to mark special pages.
In 2008? I don't think so, buddy. Maybe faster than the GUI widget orgy of the week, but even then, drawing quickly is not the issue.
A framebuffer-based character-based system which can only display characters from a bitmap font on fixed position is bould to be faster. Also, even if you can do it right, the second developers are given unlimited graphics abilities they jump on to XBOX bloated toolkits and start doing the usual shit.
That's pretty OCD, man.
Yes, I wonder if I'm OCD, and I know for sure I'm at least OCPD.
I prefer not to use programs written by idiots to avoid a BAD END for my data.
Oh, so you use a Lisp Machine (or, at best, a GNU system without X)? Because any modern system is bound to be plagued with crap. Just look at the most popular desktop environments: Windows, OS X, KDE 4 and GNOME are all written for complete retards. Every new version is more retard-friendly and less useful for real work than the previous (this is specially true for KDE 4 and GNOME).
