Way back in the mid 90s I helped convert one of the largest auto salvage yards from dumb terminals (Wyse) to NT machines using terminal emulation. The sales folks went from having been limited to physical desk space or multiple terminals to multiplexing serial over Ethernet.
These folks were fast in the TUI but extending them to 2-4x the workspace was an insane productivity booster. This yard ended up being bought out in part to how we managed to extend email and virtual terminal capabilities and was the basis for the footprint of the LKQ brand at the time. I'm not sure how any web app could compete. TUIs are amazing workflow enablers.
