The main issue here in my opinion is what are we judging as a better
description of a program: the interface or what the program actually
does.

`newsboat`, `vim` and `sc-im` don't have anything in common from a
functionality perspective. But `sc-im` does have things in common
with `libreoffice calc`, `gnumeric` or others.

So...

What do we want to be the main point of the programs: their UI or
their goal?
