Why does there seem to so much resistance by programmers to using curses?
Am I wrong here or are the 'non-curses' programmers reinvneting alot of
wheels.  Is this not against unix 'phylosiphy'?

I haven't worked on too many different platforms but have had no problems
getting the job done in curses for things like full screen control and
raw key code access.

Just wondering what I am missing..
