As a developer, I agree. Give me a great CLI, please, not a server rendered TUI.

This gives me another thought though, a "server-rendered" CLI. A tiny shim binary that just sends argv to the server, and the server sends back stdout/stderr. Haven't seen anyone try that.

That sounds very similar to the command form of ssh i.e. "ssh foo.example.com ls" :)

a "server-rendered" CLI is exactly what `keypub.sh` is, and what many ssh apps are (some are more TUI)

Yeah, in retrospect, I'm an idiot. I wasn't considering `ssh foobar.io dothething` to be equivalent to what I was thinking in my head even though it is exactly equivalent.
