I think the appropriate amount of spacing depends on the user's habit, 
and the GUI often has smaller margins.

So this element looks cramped on GUI after spending time in the terminal 
and the terminal looks too spacey still after using the GUI version.

I think that's ultimately fine because on the GUI at least the user can 
choose between the shapes by customizing the face 'separator-line'.

Personally, I would just choose a lighter color for the line, but the 
spacing feels fine. Just like we don't have a large margin at the bottom 
of menu-bar or the top of the mode-line.

It would be nice to review the different uses of the separator-line for 
consistency, though. And maybe start using it in Log-Edit too.
