Only if the TUI is non-scriptable. That's the big bait-and-switch possible here: Is it a TUI in that the menu system is made out of text, or is it a TUI in that it's a command line with a scripting language and the ability to create new commands out of composable pieces? Just saying "Textual User Interface" doesn't disambiguate the two.

- slmjkdbtl 3y agoHow com GUI isn't scriptable? Most GUI is made from scripts. Or do you mean the ability for end user to extend the software with a software-provided scripting system. In that case that's not related to GUI and TUI, all application no matter GUI or TUI can be extended by scripts if the software author wants to support that.
