compared to a plain text console, but beautyful if you need an X11

I'm not understanding what you mean about the mouse part.  It lacks
mouse support?
Is supports the mouse, but unlike most window managers all navigation can be done with the keyboard. It's a *lot* like screen, but extended to X. If you like being at console and like screen but want more control over resolution, fonts, etc., then ratpoison will be nice for you. I don't need much fancy X stuff, but I really like using ratpoison for my 1920x1200 widescreen (better resolution and crisper fonts than anything you'd get at console.)
