Why do software engineers care so much about TUI? I really don't get it. I love a good command line program. But TUI just doesn't appeal to me.

Because you may have no issue using browsers with extended batteries + features.

How about displaying data on cli w/ textualize vs on an admin web interface.

I find it much easier + direct to use some py-orm w/ textualize.

On an admin interface you’d have to worry about auth + some js ui framework that prints your custom html directives to tables… that eventually display text.
