I'm fully aware they're not the same thing, I'll not sure what gave you the impression I think they are. I agree that a badly written TUI is... badly written?

I'm fully aware they're not the same thing, I'll not sure what gave you the impression I think they are. I agree that a badly written TUI is... badly written? Obviously I'm referring to well executed TUIs. For example, I regularly pipe the result of ls, grep or fd into Helix then use multicursor editing to set up a script. You simply can't do that with a GUI.

Those are not TUIs, or rather, when we say TUI we usually mean interactive UI in the terminal.

  Helix is a TUI. Perhaps you should read my comments more carefully before writing a reply.

  GP claims: > I regularly pipe the result of ls, grep or fd into Helix Helix is being identified as the TUI here. Terminal text editors are very much interactive.
