This is pretty cool but this does feel like we are just reinventing another GUI display at this point.

I don't generally like TUI's and think one gets more flexibility with raw text interfaces and being able to glue things together is more important then them looking nice. I think less fancy out put is better to be honest.

I completely agree.

If we must embed 2D interfaces in terminals, I feel like we'd be better off putting in iframes or canvases that occupy a dedicated rectangle of cells.

Everyone has different priorities. For me, the main benefit of the TUI is the brain-dead ease in which I have windowed applications running over SSH.
