What commenters say

• TUIs are useful for automation and data processing pipelines, but may not be the best choice for user-facing applications.
• GUIs are often bloated and less performant than TUIs, but can provide a better user experience.
• TUIs can be inaccessible to users who require assistive software or non-English language support.
• The choice between TUIs and GUIs depends on the specific use case and requirements of the application.
• Some argue that TUIs are a gimmick and that GUIs would be a better choice, while others prefer TUIs for their simplicity and ease of use.
• TUIs can be useful over SSH connections, where GUIs may have too much overhead.
• The discoverability of open-source projects, including TUIs, could be improved with better search functionality.
