Come now, such an analogy is an entirely different can of proverbial worms 
Cinema and literature are independent media for artistic presentation. What you imply by your analogy is that cinema and literature comprise some sort of hierarchical relationship, whereby one is more or less "complex" than the other. You see where I'm going with this...
Furthermore, we could be talking about those supermarket novelizations of blockbuster movies, and if you're reading those... god help you  |

Well, I patched a 2.4.20 kernel with it, I'm using 2.5.69 at the moment and I don't know if its safe to use with that yet.. but yes, the background image on the framebuffer is sweet. I don't have Xine installed, but I remember reading some where that mplayer will work on a framebuffer as well. I haven't tried it yet, though.
I read about a CLI WM the other day and I'll be damned if I can remember the name of it. It was fairly basic, but it looked like it could be some what functional. |
Mean twin?

Emacs is a OS  (old joke)
Anyways, I use console + gui, I like background images and a clock (xdaliclock) because the time, sometimes... runs very fast and I forget to look at my clock but not at the right-corner of the screen. I use fvwm because it's simple and very customizable, but I use mc as my filemanager, moc to play music (sometimes audacious, but I'm moving to moc) and emacs for everything (as my filemanager too), you have jabber client, w3m, the psychiatrist...

With Screen and Twin, the need for a GUI is kind of limited.
Now, if someone could get any graphic app to run in fbdev, that would own.

| if you forked gtk to interface it with DirectFB (or something) instead of X11 you could (theres already a fb version of qt3). I suppose you'd need an fb version of x11 libs for them legacy type progs as well. Hmm, come to think of it, why does X11 have to be so heavy anyway? Who honestly uses X11 clients over a network these days either?.. Given that there are several good rdp-like protocols which work better. |

Because qt3 uses the lower-level xlib calls, which everything else sits ontop of, including Xt which qt3 is bound to make use of. You can't just "hope for the best" without realising how it all fits together.
