Definitely not as good as the web, if only for zero accessibility. With the web you have a DOM of semantic elements that are all carefully marked up by hand to describe the intent and meaning of everything. With turbo vision and TUIs you have a buffer of bytes with text, graphics, background, etc. all using the same character set. Good luck if you're a screen reader trying to make sense of it. But you can have TUI style on the web, this tui.css project is absolutely amazing IMHO: https://github.com/vinibiavatti1/TuiCss
