title: Why doesn't emacs have a fringe mode in terminal?
body: <p>I am a hardcore vim user. With the introduction of evil mode and spacemacs, I am transitioning over to emacs from vim. I often edit my code in a dev server (for reasons that I cannot explain), and I have to run my editor in terminal mode. One thing, I am missing in Emacs (that is there in vim) is a gutter to display useful information like compile/lint errors, while coding. Emacs does have a fringe mode for GUI for this but not for terminals. Is there a particular reason for avoiding fringe mode in terminal in emacs?</p>
  
  <p>My requirement is to view all the errors in one column (I am using <a href="http://www.flycheck.org/" rel="noreferrer">flycheck</a>), so that it is easy to glance through the code to find the lines that has errors. flycheck has three ways to highlight error (line/column/symbol). I would like the symbol in the line to be highlighted, but at the same time, I would like to see a column either on the left or right side of the code, that marks lines that has errors/warnings with some symbol. Flycheck does this when fringe mode is enabled, but there is no fringe mode for terminals. Is there a way to get this in terminals?</p>
