What is a TUI? I haven't heard that term before.

TUI: ~~Terminal~~ Text User Interface, something like htop in example. CLI: Command Line Interface, something like grep in example. Edit: "Text" is probably the correct word, not "Terminal".

It's a UI that sits in the terminal (thus TUI). Think htop, or btop; They are often ran from CLI, but offer more of a UI.

ncurses and similar. Think 1980s word processor, emacs, vi, Slackware installer, etc.
