I hate how Atlassian products hijack regular browser features and re-implement them in JS. When I open our Confluence page, it runs a bloated mess of 10MB of JavaScript. All of their WYSIWYG editors are terrible and I'm constantly fighting the formatting. Just let me input regular markdown already.

TUIs are usually the most snappy interfaces you can have. Pure bliss in comparison. To their credit, at least Atlassian provides usable APIs.



Unfortunately, Textual, the TUI framework this uses, hijacks the mouse and regular terminal and GUI features and reimplements them poorly in Python.

It breaks everything from text selection to copy and paste.

It’s not your usual TUI framework. I tried using it yesterday to implement a simple console app — the damn thing even uses CSS for styling.
