#22a GUI for CLIs is called a TUI.
I've seen this TUI term come up a few times on Hacker News. The term I've heard at two companies that had extensive terminal interfaces with menus and screens is CHUI (rhymes with "chewy").
It's funny, though: the CHUIs that remain in the product for system administration are much more primitive now than they used to be. Instead of curses-style graphics with a UI, it's pure text.

Avalonia UI, while still in Beta, is pretty mature. It's not WPF, of course, but it works quite well: https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia

#29This reminds me of the sheer joy of Borland's Turbo Vision circa 1991.
