Turbo TUIs were easy to make. You could make them asynchronous, non-blocking, include sound, and if you were using Borland's C compiler, all of that was built-in for you.

They probably went to efforts to make it work an ancient system. But you really didn't have to.

It’s also included with FreePascal if you prefer the Pascal flavor of Turbo Vision. It even comes with a fully featured clone of the Turbo Pascal IDE.
