While design is an important part to some degree, there is something more that I've become observing and, therefore, liking lately: the reasonable default configs of the apps, which mean that the majority of the users will never need to mess with configs at all. Here is a great post by Arne about this trend which lists such tools like Fish (mentioned above), Helix, Lazygit, Zellij, k9s, etc. And that a very user-friendly approach: install and use right away! I believe that Ghostty would be a good addition to the list. For example:

Project mention: ⏳GitHub Copilot 1-Day Build Challenge : eol, a tiny Go client to manage eols | dev.to | 2025-01-11
I really enjoyed a lot the resulting prototype I manage to get within almost 2 hours and it gave me the confirmation that I wanted to spend more time to make a clean code and lear more about Go best practices and probably use Cobra.dev (A Framework for Modern CLI Apps in Go) to learn while building something fun yet useful.

Most of the development time went into making GoVibes interactive and look pretty. Perhaps, that effort could have been better spent on making it cross-platform and functional, but again, I'm its sole user, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, I found BubbleTea, a library for building interactive CLI(TUI) tools in Golang. The library surely had a learning curve. It took me a week to wrap my head around how all things tie together. There are also a lot of prebuilt components(Bubbles) which makes it super easy to build a pretty, user-friendly TUI.

asdf is a popular version manager that uses a technique called "shimming" to switch between different versions of tools like Python, Node.js, and Ruby. It creates temporary paths to specific versions, modifying the environment to ensure that the correct version of a tool is used in different projects. However, this method can introduce performance overhead due to how these shims work.

Any viewer of data that has 50,000 elements in it has this many items with a scroll wheel. It doesn't matter if it's on the screen at the same time, this is the kind of thing that the UI is supposed to be abstracting away from you; you just describe the UI and the renderer makes it appear on the screen. Example apps (not built with Ink, just some that fit into this category): less, https://fx.wtf, sqlite...
And this is why React apps end up with bad performance by default. Doesn't crop up in simple tests and light usage, but the bad scaling will catch up with you when you deploy to production.

I really enjoy `glow`, it makes me smile when I use it:
https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow
It's a commandline markdown viewer/renderer.

Would a commander type TUI work for you?

There's also superfile and broot, but personally I feel like they try to do a little too much, might work for you though:

"\033[31;1;4munderlines\033[0m" is (again) no worse than a stream of vertices or a stream of object code. Everything is a stream of bytes (well, a stream of bits anyway). Do you want CSS? Lipgloss is not too far off [0].
I read your objection basically as "escape sequences and control codes are noisy garbage"; are you saying something more like "the functionality you can achieve with escape sequences and control codes is fundamentally limited"? If that's the case, I don't see how, especially in the context of a character-based display.
