Dos-like: Engine for making things with a MS-DOS feel, but for modern platforms
Eh, the Borland Grahics Interface (BGI) style TUIs were kind of awful. I hated the Borland Turbo C IDE in no small part because of that style TUI. It just wasted so much precious character space on TUI frames and other decorations.
More of my fond TUI memories from that era were the bespoke ones in the demo/art/music/bbs scenes. Those in many cases were still character based but seemed to make better use of the screen space and at least more aesthetically pleasing character sets.
Scream Tracker / Impulse Tracker comes to mind as one example:
