Thanks! I guess something like vim would count as a TUI then.

Yes. Think of any terminal application with an interactive user interface, that mimics a GUI. Something that is not just controlled by commandline options like grep and sed in example.

I’d say vi is in a fuzzy grey area below a tui. It’s more than a cli but shares a lot with cli programs; it pretty much has its own command line built in. At the same time it has nothing like dialog box or menus like normal tui programs.
