Not only developers, but I’ve read a research where a POS system was upgraded from a TUI to a GUI, and while new hires enjoyed the new system, experienced ones disliked due to the reduced performance.
There is also an old research showing that a small delay in the response time has a big impact on the productivity [1]. The keyboard only interface and high performance/low latency can be an excellent choice for power users/users who care about productivity.
In theory we can have all that using regular GUIs, but almost no developer/UX cares about this today. The TUI constraints ends up being an advantage for getting things done in some situations.
Of course we're now losing the rapid response time in terminals too because we need to buffer everything to make sure it's painted perfectly. That people think GPU acceleration is a good idea in a terminal has left me not only baffled but depressed for the future of a technology that was too lame to ruin (until recently). But here we are.
