Working over SSH is not the only TUI advantage: IMHO one of the greatest benefits of TUIs is the usage of characters to display the UI. This way, the font size is always equal (no unreadably small fonts). When designing TUIs I found this to be limiting in a creative sense -- I have to really think about how I arrange the TUI elements and information because I cannot put as many elements as I can on a GUI in the same screen space. Also, TUIs seem to be mostely unaffected by the trend to make every GUI element “touch-friendly” large which is an advantage for me as a Desktop user.
