UNIX, and other competing timesharing systems of the time, have always been remote first, with Windows catching up with Citrix, followed by RDP, and nowadays finally headless as well.

Nowadays Web frontends and SSH/cloud shell, have replaced what used to be X Windows / telnet / rsh, but the underlying workflows aren't much different than running an IDE / emacs /vi / joe /... from a UNIX development server in a 1990's office.

The funniest (?) thing to me about all this: we're still hoping, if we do things right, to replicate the technology (terminals) from 50 years ago.

I honestly don't understand why nobody has simply invented some software to solve this problem, after 50 years.

Add to it the whole TUI fashion, as if we weren't doing them already 50 years ago.

We did, it is called GUI and language REPLs, like Smalltalk and Interlisp-D development enviroments, with graphical based terminals, not dependent on replicating virtual teletypes.

Still something that seems problematic to take off the way it should.
