Seems a bit quick to dismiss modern TUI editors. Emacs in terminal mode has feature parity (almost?) with the GUI version.
And by the way classic curses like menu bar can be opened in text mode with M-x menu-bar-open which is bound to <f10> by default. You can even use mouse with xterm-mouse-mode.
The one he was looking at was text menubar emulation which is pretty powerful too if you take a minute to appreciate it.
He claims they are unintuitive so he didn't bother exploring them.
What is completely fair. Emacs in particular is more featureful than VS-Code, but hell, it's hard to make use of all of it.
If vertico and context-menu-mode were defaults you might not be able to say that.
Or just the menu and toolbar weren't immediately disabled by most.
