Your statement and anecdotes means nothing and are meaningless since you provided 0 examples of the preported "show off" TUI projects.
Maybe you should re-read what you said again before backpedalling after I gave solid counter examples and you provided none.
The screenshot in the post demonstrates show-off TUIs.
That git TUI doesn't offer anything over `git` CLI.
The network / battery / performance TUI is redundant with the tools in the window menu bar.
I love the aesthetic of TUIs but their actual day-to-day install base and usage must pale in comparison to CLIs and GUIs.
