There's alot of debate right now between GUI vs TUI (ex: Claude Desktop vs. Claude Code).

I know some (Zed), have tried to bridge the gap with ACP, but for me that's always fallen a bit short.

What's your view?

FWIW this is why we built Orca (https://github.com/stablyai/orca), we beleive in the TUI world but just want a GUI wrapper to help bridge the chaos

TUI > GUI. You just get default compatibility with any third-party harnesses
