Great reply about TUI/GUI vs CLI! Well-designed TUIs help teach and navigate the mental model of a situation. I try to also have a CLI available for the TUI that helps extract data for terminal pipeline use. You can even have the TUI tell you what the CLI command would be.

Also, TUI is available in constrained environments and over SSH/serial.
