Do you have examples where this is the case? In my experience, they've always seemed mutually exclusive.
I've already experimented with dropdown menus and minimizing sections. While I too love the TUI and keyboard driven experience, many want something they can click on, less overhead from every application having their own hotkeys. For me, it's about reaching more people, and the hope that I can bring more of them into the mouseless development experience
To me, these reasons underscore the need for a genuine GUI, rather than a TUI that requires users to open a terminal just to have something clickable.
This is more about blending in among GUI tools, which is also important.
This is what I find difficult to understand, why is that important? And to whom?
It made sense 35 years ago when MS-DOS was shipped by default and you just had to make do.
A full-featured web browser or a video chat client can't be realistically made TUI. I could have run Emacs in TUI mode, but I appreciate variable font support in non-code texts I write.
