after watching andrey run plan9 in parallels and seeing the drawterm
windows on x11, i'd have agreed with you, but i must say it feels a lot
less bad when the "parasite" is full-screen and the "host" programs like
firefox are in a smaller rio window that you can kill or hide at will.

the firefox i'm writing this in is running full-screen (f11) on a 1000 by
1000 pixel vnc session and the illusion of having it native is pretty
damn good (for me anyway) at least until my drawterm hack crashes
and i start shouting untranslatable words (i hope it's better now that
i realized drawterm didn't have reentrant memimagedraw)
