To me, the power of TUIs lies in a few places: * Lower resource load * Less reliance on a mouse * Related: key bindings for more activities that fit my vi muscle memory * Deeper organization. Thanks to TUI tools I've been able to roll my own IDE that's invisible when I need it to be (thanks guake & yakuake) and organized by project and tab (thanks zellij). For the mixed role I'm in that works perfectly. I don't think anybody would look at what I have and call it polished though.
