Yeah same here.
I think a "graphical" version of nethack _could_ be very cool, but it
would have to be carefully and tastefully designed. The current
graphical ports feel like they were done in five minutes while the
author was learning toolkit xyz, and they're just not very playable
(nor attractive).
The tty interface on the other hand, has been honed and obsessed over
for _decades_ (in one form or another)...
