I use emacs in a terminal all of the time every day.  How else are you
going to edit files while logged into a remote server?

If emacs didn't support the text terminal anymore, something that it
has done since the beginning, then it could hardly be called emacs
anymore could it?  It would then be something different.  Like
gtk-emacs or something.  Which is fine.  But if emacs weren't
available to edit files would you expect we would use vi?  Horrors!
