I'm not familiar with your other examples but I object to ncurses being called a framework. In my understanding of the word a framework defines to some extent how your code needs to be organized and architectured, I don't think ncurses fits this description. It's more like a terminal-based drawing library.
Thats what people typically market it as, but when you use it, it has mor in common with various GUI toolkits. Lots of windowing, and the like, but not much drawing.
