- HelloNurse 3y agoToo young to remember MS-DOS TUI masterpieces like Norton Commander or Borland Turbo Pascal? For a large segment of serious software that didn't need fancy graphics there was no justification for the reduced performance, dubious hardware compatibility and more complex programming of a proper GUI.
