> Graphical diffs that automatically handle merge conflicts visually with clicks to insert, undo and the ability for custom modification are MUCH MUCH more convenient with a GUI

Not saying you are wrong, I used to only use VSC Gui for merge conflicts. Then at some point learned to edit myself and just use the CLI. After many many years I tried lazygit (TUI) for merge conflicts while still being in the terminal and I don’t think I can go back to do it manually anymore.

My point is, is this TUI considered graphical?

Same concept. The TUI is attempting to imitate what GUI does with pixels as primitives but with terminal character primitives.
