I don't think this is what the article says, and I don't think terminals are getting "ruined". The trend of TUi is a bit worrying (usually you get a better looking but worse GUI), but the tools are great. fzf is great, fd is great, rg is great. Some TUIs are great too, lazygit and lazydocker being good examples.

I don't think this is true at all. If I had to say why the CLI is good, I would mention:
- speed
- composability, as in I can grep for something and then do other operations
- ease of development, it's very easy to make a small tool for my usage
