For me it’s all about the stripping away of distractions and using the keyboard. I think there are qualities to that kind of interface that desktop GUI’s can’t compete with and vice versa depending on your needs.
As someone that used TUIs when nothing else was available at an affordable price, hardly.
Unless your talking about Clipper/DBase, or micro-computers green screens for data entry done by any 4GL, and even those only aren't mostly available on GUIs due to the laziness to provide adequate shortcuts for form navigation.
