the GUIs people build aren’t good enough

Big agree

TUIs are inherently better than GUIs

Perhaps not inherently, but TUI users have much less tolerance for “lag”, so TUI apps are built to that expectation. That’s often not the case for GUIs.

Yeah. I agree.
I wish Sublime had a good AI integration plugin with review edits before making them and chat windows with tabs. I’ve had to go back to VS Code (well at least I had but the Claude integration is worse than Copilot so I might go back and use the Claude desktop app).
I tried a couple but wasn’t happy and the cost of code reviewing it to be allowed to use it at work is too much work to just try them all.
