Windows NT has a native console API that every non-Cygwin program used until a few years ago, when Microsoft finally implemented terminal emulation. See, for example, https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/e7c765fe5997daa845222351e114.... It’s just that there is little interest in TUIs from Windows users.
I don't think others are talking about what you are angry about. I said that with the first reply and I'm not the only one saying it. Nobody is trying to take Zed or Neovim away from you.
By the way one of the most frequent modern TUI apps that I use is Midnight Commander. It's a very nice app, which I use mostly when I SSH into a remote machine to manage it. Is there a 2D accelerated GUI that can help me do the same?
>Is there a 2D accelerated GUI that can help me do the same?
Of course. Just mount it through ssh and use whatever file manager you already have. It is very silly to switch tools just because the machine is somewhere else.
Switching tools just to accommodate the machine being remote is just bizarre to me. You even said that you used mc mostly for remote machines. What is the point of that? Now you have to use at least two tools which do the exact same thing, except you only use one when the system is remote? Does that not seem like a total waste? It would be one thing if you said that mc is what you always used, but that is not the case, you actively switch tools just to accommodate the machine being remote. Why? Do you think that is reasonable at all, when something as simple as just mounting over ssh exists?
You seem to have very strong feelings when other people have different preferences then you. Why would use words like bizarre, delusional and total waste, when discussing such trivial matters.
>> Why? Do you think that is reasonable at all, when something as simple as just mounting over ssh exists?
In short yes. I use it mostly on remote machines and on my desktop Linux machine. Before that I used Norton Commander on DOS. I don't remote only from Linux machines but also from a Windows laptop. It is much quicker and easier to simple run "mc" in an ssh session when I need it than trying to mount the drive and then run another application on the local machine.

That is a bit uncalled for.
