Good question. I suppose I am basing my argument on text-based GUIs as a whole instead of this library in particular. I have no opinion about this library vs. other text UI libraries, other than the fact that it is visually stunning.
In my experience with TUI apps (RTV, IRC clients, even vim, as much as that pains me to admit after the days I've spent fiddling with my vimrc.), it was always worse UX compared to a native GUI version, for some definition of native GUI that includes browsers/electron. I don't mean literally no one will use TUI apps, but I don't see a killer use case for them.
To refactor my question: What is the use case for TUI that isn't better served as a native GUI or proper CLI?
Sure, GDB with a TUI sounds neat, but I don't see how it wouldn't be better served as a native GUI (Which seems to already exist[1]. Neat).
