I like Ink as an idea for how to use React creatively. It’s very well done. At the same I think most CLIs do not need this kind of interaction. It is better to keep them simple and verbose rather than fancy and obscured. I spent a long time removing Ink from an enterprise tool where it didn’t fit as it was meant more for CI/CD. Not this tools fault of course.

Half the tools I write end up being used in CI/CD so even if I do fancy in a terminal you have to do simple for non interactive shells.
