      For me to be able to use whatever I want, it needs to exist. Therefore it is a relevant discussion to have, since it might influence a developer to consider TUI instead of just going for GUI as the default.

        Waiting for others to do something for you is the wrong approach. Get off your ass and be the developer. Creating an interface for a tool is no rocket science.

          It’s significantly easier to make a third party GUI for a command line tool than to make a third party CLI for a GUI only tool because you’ll be working with an opaque binary that doesn’t have any public APIs.

          Ironic coming from someone that is using a computer with OS and programs written by someone else and hardware constructed by other people, using electricity produced by others, et.c. :)

            You are completely missing the point of “Oh, mister developer sir, please, you absolutely must make me a button here so I can rename a file. I insist! I’ll even draw you a little spider in return.”

              I am a developer and I find others perspective on usability interesting. Each to his own I guess.
