We all have weird interest, it's the long tail.
Magic happens when you find someone with the same weird interest: emulation brings innovation through iterations!
Maybe someday I'll find someone interested in running Excel through wine rendering in Sixels within a terminal :)
And before you ask, yes I've enjoyed way too much reading about https://github.com/taviso/123elf and the history behind it!

WordPerfect for Unix Character Terminals
123 was indeed ported to UNIX, I have that working as well! https://github.com/taviso/123elf
(Although it was more likely procalc - a popular low-end lotus clone)
I'm also working on porting dBase IV, another popular package from the era :)

How would you write a novel in Word/Pages?
There are some people trying to recreate the Wordstar experience, like this one, and they supposedly were great and simple for writing long-form content (it was before my time, so I have no experience with it).

Lightweight Word Processor
WordGrinder. It's great for distraction-free writing, and can output Markdown or troff. It's a great tool for getting words down, but its otherwise pretty limited (which I think is one of its strengths). When I need to print or generate a PDF, I have a little script.

Is there a way to have a full TUI desktop environment?
For word processing there's WordGrinder, which is in the repos for many distros (in Fedora: dnf install wordgrinder). Things like LaTeX and Groff are for typesetting, which I don't view as the same as word processing. WordGrinder is more like the classical DOS word processors (e.g. WordPerfect 5.1).

What are some linux utilities/tools/apps you would want to have, that don't exist and think would be really useful.

Building the fastest Lua interpreter.. automatically!
I have a word processor I wrote (https://cowlark.com/wordgrinder) which is mostly written in Lua, with hardware-specific stuff in C, and while this works extremely well, I'd very much like something with stronger typing. There's a possibility I'd be able to just drop in Luau and get it, plus some performance benefits. I'd need to reimplement parts of the standard library due to Luau having dropped things like the io library but that's no great hardship. I like the syntax, too, which is expressive and very lightweight.
