"Console productivity" tools with Devuan ASCII?

Hello

I have the option to choose "Console productivity" tools with Devuan ASCII. I looked it up on the Internet and all I found was: "In addition, there are options for “Console productivity” with hundreds of CLI and TUI utils". https://devuan.org/os/debian-fork/ascii … nce-060818

Do your recommend installing console productivity tools? Could you explain more precisely what it is? What kind of CLI and TUI utils are included?   

Thanks
