Dialog is one of those underrated Linux tools that you wish you knew about a long time ago. You can build a very nice and simple UI that will work perfectly on your terminal.
For example, to create a simple checkbox list with my favorite languages, selecting Python by default:
dialog --clear --checklist "Favorite programming languages:" 10 30 7 1 \
Python on 2 Java off 3 Bash off 4 Perl off 5 Ruby off
