That depends on its purpose. If it is to be a nostalgic emulation of your grandfather's VT-100 in the style of <http://www.theonion.com/content/news/ford_reintroduces_model_t_line>, to show the awkward limits of line buffer access from a glass TTY, it does a reasonably good job.

I use it for keyboard access to the operating system and compiling simple utilities, etc. The convenience of a combined text editor and command interface, like MPW and Eddie, is more useful for that than imitation of a historical artifact.
