Performance (though not always) and composability are huge reasons. Can really tell the HN crowd has changed a lot.

Compared to light-weight graphics (think early X programs), are TUI really that much more performant? I understand they ARE now light-weight, portable and (relatively) simple.

Besides, cli are composable, but TUIs are not.

I don't think they're much more performant than a GUI created with performance in mind. I think they're almost by default more performant with the lowest effort/lazy approach?

TUIs can be composable as well but you are 100% correct that I overstated the case.
