For UI there exists a straight up superior alternative, which keeps all of the benefits of the old solution. Neovim is just straight up better when used outside of a terminal emulator.
What is true for TUI vs. GUI is not true for CLI vs. GUI (or TUI for that matter) pretending the argument I made applies to the later is just dishonest. You can not replace CLI interfaces adequately by GUI or TUI interfaces, you can totally replace TUI Interfaces by GUI. See neovim as an example. It is superior software when used outside of the terminal.
>Maybe on paper. But the snappy low-latency feel of TUI apps in the terminal is a joy, and unequaled in GUIs.
This is not true at all. Terminal emulators are GUIs, the TUI is just another layer on top of that GUI. Using a TUI will always introduces additional latency, depending on the quality of the terminal emulator.
I do not know what GUIs or TUIs you are using, but my KDE Apps are all extremely snappy.
