1. How would you quantify "more"?

2. How would console apps which make use of graphic formating without a need for X qualify?

There are plenty, various web browsers, irc clients, editors, music players, games, mc, pjsua etc.

Seeing the newly added poll choices I wouldn't know how to distinguish between those besides from X GUI apps...
