I haven't personally implemented one but I'll quote someone who has spent a lot more time on it:

> Many of these implementations are ad-hoc, one-off solutions. They aren't using any shared library or codebase.2 Terminal emulation is a classic problem that appears simple on the surface but is riddled with unexpected complexities and edge cases.3 As a result, most of these implementations are incomplete, buggy, and slow.4 [1]

(I mean, it's possible html/css deserves to be called horrible also but they produce an undeniably superior result)
