I share this point of view!

In my opinion mtr-cli _is_ like emacs-nox. it drops X (gtk) support,
to a tool which is more used in a term on host without X.
But question is about popularity. Emacs and mtr are not comparable.
The point that I defend is : mtr-cli is an important network tools
which should be used without X.
