      That’s fine. I’m sure there are some sub-par TUIs out there. I’ve seen pretty great TUIs, especially the ones written in Rust (because of the excellent TUI lib they have).

      GUIs are fine too (as long as they don’t use Electron lol).

          Nice!

          Well, my favorite is Helix – a text editor. But it’s a TUI in the same way that vim is a TUI, and being that it’s a text editor, you’re likely to have very strong opinions about whatever your current favorite editor is. Which is totally fine. I’m not looking to start any editor wars.

          Here are some others:

          • jellyfin-tui: nice Jellyfin music player
          • managarr: manages Sonarr and Radarr servers
          • wiki-tui: probably goes without saying what this one does 😁
          • synd: an RSS reader
          • yazi: file manager

          I use way more than just those. If you do find that some TUIs may be useful, there are a bunch more here. If not, I’m still interested in what behaviors you find off-putting about TUIs. Maybe I can incorporate that feedback for TUIs that I write :)
