there's a million gui frameworks under the sun and i still haven't found one that feels like what everyone has been asking for:

good dx, cross platform, fast, not ugly.

pick i dunno 2 or 3.

tui's get to check 2 or 3 of these just like any other gui library. somehow there still isn't a silver bullet here.

now i personally don't build tuis but guake style dropdown simple command and i have some other thing someone made open immediately running in ghostty? hell yea. with that said yes there are some stupid tuis out there that are anything but simple.
