TUIs are really the worst of both worlds IMHO.
The one advantage that a terminal has, is that commands can be concise and scriptable. But that only really applies to CLI.
A TUI is just a poor man emulation of a GUI, without any advantages.
- cerved 1mo agoThe advantage is that you can run it in a terminal... So in tmux, over ssh, etc.
- steve1977 1mo agoWhy or how is that an advantage over proper GUIs via some remote desktop protocol?

I don't want to deal with a Linux GUI shoved into my Mac via screenshare. Linux screenshare host is finicky in the first place. I do lots of stuff via CLIs anyway. I connect to multiple remote instances at once. All those reasons make it easier to SSH.
