Here's why:
* No graphical elements: WordStar does not use any icons, buttons, or graphical elements for user interaction.
* Command-driven: It relies on keyboard commands and menus displayed as text.
* Limited cursor movement: It relies on cursor keys for navigating text, unlike modern word processors with mouse-driven cursors.
While WordStar might have some limited visual formatting capabilities, its core interface is text-based, making it a TUI application.
