What? No. I can run these on a server and get the same UI as locally, which is great. As with everything else sometimes TUIs make sense, sometimes not. There are a lot of crappy GUIs out there as well, which would have been better served as CLI tools (in my subjective opinion).

And what is "IS NOT meant for fancy user interfaces" supposed to mean? (and what about various constraints back in the day as the actual reason for a data in/data out-only interface as opposed to "intent"?) I could argue that tmux is "fancy", since it is a multi-panel workspace, mirroring GUI capabilities, but apparently that's Ok according to you. So your conclusion seems to be that TUIs are actually ok in general - you just don't like bad/over designed interfaces (subjective terms, of course), which is understandable. Sorry, but I don't get your point. Bad interfaces are everywhere.

(I kind of like fancy TUIs when they make sense, to be honest, so there's that)
