I'm curious: Do you have a nice set of GUI applications that come with the UX you'd expect of TUIs?

(I'm not actually sure what the UX of TUIs is I love so much. Relative simplicity / focus on core features? Uff, notepad wins this one on vim. Fast startup times? I use gomuks, that takes a minute for the initial sync. No mouse? Moving around in TUI text editors with hjkl is slow. I either jump where I want to go with search or use the mouse. Lightness over SSH/network is the only thing I can't come up with a counterexample for.)

Blender? There you have to use a mouse because you have a much much bigger state space to control.

Also, Intellij is perhaps a better example. You can fully control it via only the keyboard, yet no amount of plugins would turn (neo)vim into something as capable as it is. And it makes good use of the extra pixels - human can take in much more information than a text grid.
