In consumer banking, there is a pretty popular software called Finacle developed by Infosys. It was originally a TUI called Bancs2000 and was written in C and Pro*C. It could basically accept input as fast as one could type. With a few months experience, you would be blazing fast. Then they replaced it with a web based component and called it Finacle - and everyone hated it at first. The replacement wasn't particularly slow by standards of a web based component, just that the users were spoiled by the combination of muscle memory supported by TUI speed.
