Electron is one of the slowest, clunky, memory-hogging ways to have a UI, and TUIs are the exact opposite. I don’t care if (name of company that ships Electron slop here) can ship your software webpage masquerading as software to more systems more easily. If your messaging “app” has input lag when I type something, it’s a dogshit experience.
Of course, there are ways to ship GUIs that aren’t all of the things wrong with Electron, but comparing TUIs with those is less interesting and more a question of if the person likes to live in their terminal or not.
It’s just an easy thing to contrast against.
