Re:Things I've learned building a modern TUI framework by gjulianm on Thursday August 04, 2022 @03:12AM (#32340096)
I don’t know, even with good frameworks TUI interfaces are harder to do than simple CLI. From what I’ve seen, interfaces made with these framework aren’t replacing CLI tools, just augmenting them. In fact I think the use cases are usually completely different, when a TUI comes up it’s because you really need interactivity and not just “launch command and see the output”. And viceversa, I don’t see anyone making TUIs for use cases that are just sending commands and seeing output.
