Most of the "TUI" parts of LLDB are tightly coupled with the core of the library. For folks to retain the same "look and feel", you would have to reimplement all the commands in terms of DAP operations. Doable of course, but likely a lot of work for very little return.

Sounds like a thing some enthusiast will eventually do, but I don't see any command line DAP client debuggers out there now. Unless you count using neovim or emacs as the IDE but it's not the same sort of use, no low level commands there. One day when the DAP protocol grows a bunch of extensions maybe it'll happen.

I agree that most people will simply connect an existing IDE to this DAP server. Which sounds pretty neat, but doesn't require any input from lldb either way.
