I agree with you. Since I prefer the console, and most of the apps I
use are console bound, the last thing I wanted to do was introduce ten
thousand libraries just so I can open a terminal window. Generally, I
only use X for 3 reasons: multiple, high resolution X-Terms, Jpeg
viewing, and the World Wide Web.
I was experimenting running without a window manager but now I use
OpenMotif, which has no other dependencies. (You forgot mwm, by the
way.)
