    No but many things can be. There’s also a distinction between a CLI (command line interface, just running programs in a terminal) and TUIs (terminal user interface); like stuff built using ncurses which is a popular TUI library.

    Things that need graphics don’t work well as a TUI. For example, it would be pretty hard to make a 3d modelling application like Blender make sense in a terminal…

        there’s OpenSCAD which uses a whonky scripting/programing language to build 3d models. You can do quite a bit in it, if know what you’re doing- and the neat part is that the files are text filesso they don’t take a lot of space.
