I feel like I’ve boomeranged from loving CLI/TUI interfaces to native UI to web/html interfaces, back to native UI and then now I’m all about the TUI/CLI again with musikcube.

I think what I like in a UI tends to be common in TUIs, but what I enjoy in a UI isn't necessarily attached to any of the categories you mention. What do you feel is uniquely appealing about UIs in those different categories that has your excitement pinging between them?

  For me: terminal: beautiful simplicity & efficiency -- everything is a stream of bytes, output is characters displayed on a regular grid web: bang-for-buck experience -- hard to beat for middling interactivity plus high development velocity native: maxed out capacity for experience & interactivity

Real-world web/HTML UI's tend to suck. But a well-made, lightweight, accessible web UI can be quite effective much like a TUI.
