> Both stores use TUI interfaces for their instore service apps, and boy are they fast with them. They reserve GUI things for the self service point of sale systems and keep the TUI for cases where speed matters.

What magic makes TUI faster than GUI?

TUI just use glyphs to render the interface. AFAIK that's not faster that a proper graphics engine.

Keyboard shortcuts are not exclusive to TUI.

Maybe if we would stop hyping UI gimmicks and put more focus on fundamentals, there wouldn't be so many bad GUI apps.
