As the person who originally suggested organizing tui-apps into a file,
I'd envisioned it as being sort of like its own desktop environment. So
similar to how we might put Gnome (GTK) apps and KDE (Qt) apps together,
we might put tui (ASCII terminal) apps together.

I am not upset if that's unconvincing to others & will happily drop the
proposal if it's not useful, I never intended for it to become a drawn
out discussion. It also makes sense to me that we might organize things
by programming language or by function, those each have strengths as
strategies.
