I think youโre right that a TUI is still an abstraction. What I was trying to get at wasnโt โTUI = lower level than GUI.โ More that GUI-heavy workflows can make it easier to use tools without really understanding whatโs happening underneath. Like Iโd rather learn git than GitHub Desktop, Docker than Portainer, SSH than some remote management panel, etc. Not because the interface is better, but because it forces me to actually learn the tool. So maybe the distinction isnโt TUI vs GUI, itโs understanding the underlying system vs relying on layers that hide it.
