Sloppy how? What's the problematic use case?

To put it simply it can't take advantage of the various platform specific commands.

Also, having to implement your own Console UI toolkit kind of results in reinventing the wheel.

You can read about the simple capabilities at the web page:
http://www.mono-project.com/docs/tools+libraries/libraries/monocurses/

Another option is console framework:

OK, so there are no actual bugs or problems that you have to report. Thanks.

If someone wants to put in the time and effort to rewrite all of that code, then we would evaluate the pros and cons at that point. But it does not make sense to leave this out there as a "to do" item when there's no upside to doing it. Closing.

(Also, MonoCurses is ugly.)
