I’d probably use it if there were such a thing. I think the big obstacle is the way pixels are distributed on a screen, though: diagonals tend to look jagged and fonts get distorted because they’re optimized for a specific kind of pixel arrangement, so if you had tilted windows it would be harder to read and you’d need to use larger characters to make up for it, at which point you can’t fit as much information on screen at once.
