I use linux as my daily driver computer, and I've also used eDEX-UI as well. It's not the worst terminal out there, the only problem is that that's just what it is: a terminal. This would be such a cool concept if it was something like a Desktop Environment, but since it's pretty much just a terminal, there's not much you can do outside of text-based programs.

I'd been following this for years and didn't realized that it was done so thanks for posting. He's done a Mac app that I downloaded. One click and it's up and running as above. What away to run Vim. I'm seriously stoked here!!!!
