Not what's commonly understood as TUI, but I love Acme from plan9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M The entire UI is composed of text.

Perhaps most shockingly, Acme uses the mouse a lot. I find that there's a lot of confusion between text-based, CLI, and ANSI sequences. That's unfortunate.
