Okay but the way the comment described their workflow implies they have a pretty solid server where they actually "work". My point isn't TUI vrs GUI, my point is that you cannot say TUIs are better because cloud computing exists. You can easily replace TUIs with GUIs and enjoy the same features that cloud computing provides, so what makes TUIs special? Is it because they are lightweight and don't consume as much resources? That depends on the app itself, there are several lightweight apps that use a web-based secure GUI instead of TUI, so why specifically do you want to be in the terminal?
