I'm fully aware they're not the same thing, I'll not sure what gave you the impression I think they are.

I agree that a badly written TUI is... badly written? Obviously I'm referring to well executed TUIs.

For example, I regularly pipe the result of ls, grep or fd into Helix then use multicursor editing to set up a script. You simply can't do that with a GUI.

Those are not TUIs, or rather, when we say TUI we usually mean interactive UI in the terminal.

Helix is being identified as the TUI here. Terminal text editors are very much interactive.

Helix is a TUI.

Perhaps you should read my comments more carefully before writing a reply.
