That said, there is a potential for using less screen real estate.
I would see that as an improvement. It may be a matter of taste.
True, it is on one hand a matter of taste, but on the other hand it is
related to how much data humans can process in a given time span.
I very much agree with you. Less is more. But not everybody may think
so. The screen, I think, is for executive summary, althemore as both
screen size and screen buffer size are not infinite. The gory details
may go to the logfile.
I regard the Knoppix boot screen as formally perfect for terminals.
Now you're implicitly bringing up something else, which is colored
output. That would be very nice indeed for terminals that support it.
Colored, well-structured, nicely animated. Too good to be true. Probably
out of reach for a cross-platform tool.
Taking the same approach, something similar [to progressbars] could be
built into Ant. But then it would need to know how much time a target
is expected to take.
This is not how I fancy progressbars. The uses has to supply some clues
as in the great Perl module Term::ProgressBar and in the example I gave
here:
Ant - Users - Progessbar on the console?
