> This got me thinking: Are other companies still using this type of interface to drive their core operations?

Probably a big chunk of businesses that developed their core systems before the PC era. I don't know if they still use it, but Avis Rent-a-car's main application used by its front-line people was a TUI like that, and the front desk people could fly around int it (like you said).

But most developers ape current trends rather than actually figuring out what would work best, so I'd guess very few user-facing TUIs are being built now.
