There's no reason a TUI can't give you "real autocompletion". Vim does pretty well in most cases.

I personally don't see the benefit of that, but you're right that you can't see a zoomed-out version of your code in a TUI.

All of those things are supported by Vim and can be done in a TUI. As for "syntax highlighters" that decide to italicise code, I don't really consider that a feature.
