People have been making TUIs since time immemorial.
Discover the joys of Turbo Vision and things like Norton Commander, DOS Navigator, Word Perfect etc.
They problem is that most current tools can neither do the TUI right or the terminal part right.
I wouldn’t describe those traditional TUIs as trying to be flashy, though. They were largely utilitarian.
I haven't tried the project at the link, but I don't see much flashiness there. From the video it actually feels muted compared to the colors of yesteryear.
