The same tired, disparaging comments for anything done in JS get pretty annoying. No, there are not 1000+ dependencies. The entire transitive closure with dev dependencies comes down to 42 dependencies total. Is that a lot? Maybe, but there is value here. As someone who's authored many CLI tools in the past, libraries like oclif, ink, inquirer, etc were game changers. A little overhead for UX rendering is not material to the performance for many CLI tools. The actual byte streaming/processing and any network calls dwarf the handful of milliseconds you could save by rendering in some more "optimized" way. Being able to render visualizations, handle user input interactions, and responsively re-render are very useful things.
