It's nice, but a lot of what it does could be exposed to other terminals as well without being so tied to Alacritty.

#43Wanted to give it a shot but got disappointed when I launched it and the following happened: - Outgoing request to googleapis.com - Outgoing request to segment.io - Outgoing request to sentry.io - Requires sign up (only via Github, mind you) I understand the first request is probably to get some dynamic configuration, even though I'd rather my terminal ship with static configuration. But then you have segment and sen…
That is the modern experience part.

I'm not sure I'm ready to have SaaS models replace core utilities and tools locally.

And just thinking about this... it's not clear to me what their moat will be as I suspect if there's a really compelling feature it will be available in OSS terminals quite quickly. Perhaps it's the product polish? But I'm not sure polish is what I want from a terminal, at least... it's not the top thing I want .

#45Can you share a bit on pricing strategy and what parts of it will be free vs paid?

lol, no

#47I got into early access and I really wanted to switch but there was a few major things blocking me:
1. this desparately needs multiple profiles where I can customize the command that is launched (ie. with iTerm2 I have keyboard shortcuts mapped to a profile which launches SSH instance to our various aws environments)
2. powerlevel10k doesn't work (dealbreaker)

#48Anyone know how this lines up to other terminals performance wise. I’ve been pretty happy with alacritty, but would be willing to try a terminal with more features. https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty
Don't forget WezTerm, which is imo the best of the recent crop of GPU-accelerated terminal emulators implemented in Rust (with built-in multiplexing!):

Having now tried Warp, I think it's fine. I doubt performance will be a problem. What concerns me more is that it's not open-source.

Yea, I would never use a terminal that does any of that. If you want logging and crash reports, use Breakpad or something similar to send the crash report after a crash. No need to have telemetry reports going all the time.
