I don't know about that. The Gemini TUI takes like four full seconds to start on my machine. I have no idea what the hell it's doing. A lot of the fancy new TUIs that are coming on the crest of the current fad are hot garbage. I hate them.

Claude Code is 600 Kloc... insanity. It's definitely possible to write crap TUIs.
