Goodmorning to all in the list, ncurses are very usefull for profesionals which work as admins with dedicated servers and want a gui style for their terminal.
when i was admin i used iptraf which is a monitoring tool writen in ncurses. Think that monitoring tools (htop), admin tools (yast) are very usefull for console guys, are more faster and are the last option after a computer crash. I think ncurses+gambas = Great, it would be a nice easy way to have gui console apps !!!
