Re: Stop Making TUIs
#2TUI is a kind of self defense. big corps create and kill gui frameworks faster that one can learn them. Browser based ui is a real waste of resources (and also evolve in a absurd pace). The Console is a last resort to write small (understandable) gui that work on many platforms.

Huh? Qt, GTK, Cocoa (AppKit and UIKit), bunch of other linux friendly gui frameworks been around for a long time, even Flutter is still around. What is being killed?

They generally stay supported, or if not supported, working.

#5No. I like them.

What do you like about them? I disagree, but so many people seem to like them that I assume I'm missing something. The main one I've heard before is that they work nicely over SSH, but I assume there must be more?

We're in an era where soon (if not already) it will become straight forward to direct a clanker to move an application from one gui framework to another.
Once we have robust automated computer use, that becomes the verification loop, and this problem will almost surely get solved.

#8Incoherent and far too long .
Lists a bunch of things .
Fails to make any clear points .
Fails to give real reasons for the few claims it makes .

#9What is the complaint in the article really about?
People write code using the platform X because they like it. It doesn't make sense to try to stop this

#10You know what's awesome about TUIs? They live in a tab in my terminal. 95% of the time, my system has three windows open: terminal, browser, Signal.
Please, make more TUIs and web apps, so they can live in my terminal or my browser.
