I really like using the terminal and I even really like TUI applications.
But still, I can not believe this is a good idea.
Every TUI is an enormous hack, legacy piled on top of legacy, trying to twist a simple terminal into a general purpose graphics graphics library. Frankly, a terminal shouldn't support 16 Million colors.
The thing which I really want to exist is a (relatively) simple character based GUI library. Something where "draw this character at x,y in that style", does not rely upon magic chants of escape sequences. And you can lay out a simple GUI based entirely on characters, exactly as if you were creating a TUI, without any of the baggage.
