Termbox can be implemented on non-POSIX platforms, whereas terminfo/termcap do not. See https://github.com/nsf/termbox-go which runs on Windows.
NB: The C implementation doesn't support Windows, AFAIK, which means this Rust library doesn't either, at least as long as it is based on bindings and not a pure Rust implementation of termbox.

What's the advantage of using the limited termbox interface over (n)curses, or just using the low-level terminfo library directly?
