Yeah I used to look longingly at Turbo Vision GUIs, but C++ was scary at the time. Do you think building TUIs with TV was qualitatively better than approaches popular today? Any insights why?
As for building TUIs not really, other than the usual Clipper entry forms.
For example, when I moved from Turbo Vision (MS-DOS) into Object Windows Library (Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5) I did not regret it.
One thing I do conceed, a full keyboard experience is much better for data entry forms and on GUIs the mouse is given too much focus, although the same approach could be easily implemented as on TUIs.
