im with you. I have tried all the TUIs and immediately bounce off of them due to how utterly awful even just basic operations like text editing are. I use Vscode copilot chat because in the before-times I was perfectly happy with vscode. I cannot comprehend how people can now give all of that up for TUIs. It also has its Agents Window, Copilot CLI etc... and you can use any api keys, subscriptions etc... that you want.

And, of course, most of the tools have created their own GUIs anyway, which are far worse than VS Code (even when they've forked VSCode itself!)

I think the "borderline psychotic" phrasing is apt.
