Try "emacs -nw".

You are harsh. I don't find it ugly. Granted, IMHO, the button bars is
not very useful for experienced users (but it definitely is attractive
for beginners and it is very easy to disable) but other X features of
Emacs are useful (like the menus, the keyboard handling, the variety of
available fonts, colors, etc.).
