This TUI looks pretty, but I cannot imagine situation, when I would actually use it and be ready to pay for it. Probably I am not living in a right environment for it. But in my experience, either people are happy with something truly minimalistic or they try to please a user with GUI right away.

For example, YouTube link in the article showed a possibility to display table with highlighting cells. Why would I need that as TUI? Probably if I want to navigate through table with highlighting active cell I would also need a bunch of other stuff and eventually I would need a proper GUI.

Proper GUI's are nice and all, until you need to do the same thing over an ssh connection.

Sometimes that works ok (ie forwarding X on a high bandwidth connection), but other times the proper GUI acts like a complete pig. :(

A text based GUI sounds like it might be the best of both worlds.

greybeard nix admin here: I agree People have forgotten way too many of the lessons we learned in Ops Companies like to slap "agile" and "devops" labels on things, but I see the same old fights... (biased because I hate gui-ninjas)
