> UIs for the general audience? TUIs! TUIs are ideal (sometimes) where a command needs to be interactive. Many commands lend themselves well to batch processing or require no interactivity at all. In many cases, a script piped into a text editor (which is a TUI) is all that is needed, sparing apps from having to embed a text editor and deal with all of the design choices. Other times GUI will work a lot better.
