Totally agree about the value of user interaction with pure text.
We are too obsessed about UI widgets, but forgot one thing: the screen space is just 2D, you cannot put too many things in the 2D space, so we introduce levels, but lower-level interactions are often neglected by users, a dilemma.
But with dialog-style UI, we introduce the extra dimension of time. When we distribute user interactions on the time dimension, sometimes limited screen space is no longer a problem.
