TUIs are not CLI programs though. They're GUIs which render in a terminal


The shell's line editor is a TUI. It's a simple text editor embedded right there in the command line. It can even render your shell history by pressing the arrow keys.


Sure yes. A terminal is a GUI. But it's a GUI used to both run cli programs (which can be piped etc) and TUIs (which cannot)
