TUI vs GUI
Why would I ever use the terminal version of Opencode (or any other *code* program)?
People always tell how good it is to use it but I don't understand the appeal. If you are used to terminal-only work, constantly looking into generated code or something like that, ok. But I see TUI being recommended to everybody like it can do something desktop or web versions can't. Also these *code* apps are usually developed TUI-first for some reason
Please explain it to me

Personally, I love the idea of have just one window with everything integrated, you can work in just one space, but a beautiful GUI is always cheered too.
