What is { VT100 terminal mode } and Why use it?
We can give you a better answer if you give us some more information, particularly the context. What were you reading when you came across the term?
If you follow the link to the ASCII Conversion Chart at http://web.alfredstate.edu/weimandn/ and read the material about 'The first section' that is below the chart you will find more information about the 'control sequences' mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
The Wikipedia article also mentions that the VT100 had other features such as blinking, bolding, reverse video, underlining, and more for which there were no standard escape sequences. The manufacturer ( Digital Equipment Corporation) came up with their own sequences which were subsequently also used by other manufacturers and which ultimately became more or less an industry standard called "VT100 terminal mode".

I I've read on this link (( Electronics - Henning Karlsen )) the code of the Project: UTFT Analog Clock and was at the beginning of the code written :
{{
/ / Enable (1) or disable (0) VT100 terminal mode
/ / Enable this if your terminal program supports VT100 control sequences.
/ / The Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE does not support VT100 control sequences.
/ / If using the Serial Monitor the line ending should be set to 'No line ending'.define VT100_MODE 1
