It's not redrawing/resizing with a GUI that's the matter, it's the whole of it. TUIs are easy to create without much investment in learning a whole GUI system.

That's assuming you find a TUI easier to deal with. I guess for the I-use-Arch crowd, sure, but anything more than just printing out lines of text IMO makes using VTs a pain. And if I'm just outputting text, using GTK or Qt is more than fine.
