Can we get rid of ncurses and transition into notcurses?

[rubyFeedback]

For various reasons I'd love to get rid of ncurses altogether. I don't know notcurses well, though - would it be a true alternative to ncurses? E. g. things such as htop and many other projects, that could use notcurses?

I fear that if other projects don't consider switching, we will be perma-stuck with ncurses.

someone asked something very similar the other day here. essentially, we'll always be using the terminfo capabilities of ncurses. if you're using notcurses, there's no need (and you are not advised) to call ncurses routines yourself.
