top would be good to have as a GUI, but I think 99% of people would prefer not to have X11 running on their servers, not least because of how insecure it is. Also, a surprising amount of TUI apps do have at least some mouse support. Sure, it will never be as good as a GUI app since you can't scroll by less than one row, and depending on the terminal the responsiveness for resizing isn't great, but it is there when you want it. Also, one of my favorite things in vim is splits. Whenever I use GUI editors the split support seems to be very bad. Some of the Mac OS editors are at least meant to be used with multiple windows, but I think that philosophy of the desktop metaphor is dying out and people are just writing apps to be used full screen.
