Why do TUI developers insist on doing such weird stuff when they could just make a GUI

This post has aged like milk given the rollback. In the amount of time it's taken them to fix it, including lobbying xterm.js upstream and telling users "use a modern terminal emulator", you'd be hard-pressed to convince me they'd have burned more goodwill with paying customers than they already have if they'd quietly switched to alt-mode. It's a downright embarrassing bug for such a high-profile company.

“Terminals aren’t designed for interactivity” is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while.
I mean, I get what the author is saying… but the original intent of the first meaningful video display terminal (IBM’s in 1964) was to provide interactivity, with the first major application being airline reservations.

General rule: Don't write articles with uncommon acronyms ("TUI") without introducing their meaning upon first usage.
