Agreed in principe but we live in the real world.

GUI apps are ever more bloated and often aren't written for power users (many shortcuts etc). Sure they can have all those things, but they don't. Also, UI designers are really strong trend followers meaning their apps will waste a lot of screen real estate and are often white on light gray right now because that seems to be the current fashion.

Also running apps remotely with a simple and fast interface is often really a big plus.

This submission is about a library for building TUIs, though- what I was getting at is that as developers, we can choose to instead build guis and we’ll get better results.

I do agree with you that many gui apps are poorly built and bloated.
