Unless it has a password manager then there is no chance I will switch from iTerm2.

Re: The Terminal for the 21st Century
#22A terminal app for the 21st century is: 1. FOSS. 2. Portable, multi-platform. This "warp" is neither. Also... replying to some of their homepage quips: > Our GPT-3 powered AI search will convert natural language into executable shell commands. I'll grant you that _is_ kind of futuristic, but I would really rather not install your keylogger on my system. > Along the way, we built our own UI framework, our own Rust-bas…
right? I don't know what "FPS" my "Terminal" displays out, I could care less, I am using it to emulate a VTE from long before I was born.

#23Warp requires a sign-up before I can try the terminal. This can be a big no no for many users, or at least for me.
Yeah, I see no reason a terminal should require an account. Turned me off too.

#24It might not be for everyone, but I am pretty happy with https://termius.com/ (I use the freemium version).
Re: The Terminal for the 21st Century
#25This looks interesting. Is it MacOS only? And how does it behave with tools like tmux or ssh?
Yep MacOS only for now. SSH works ok, it wraps the native SSH and does some magic so your milage will vary. For TMUX, don't know what you would need that for honestly.

It's super useful for doing things on remote servers. Tmux can maintain a "session" between ssh connections. So I can start a long running process on a tmux pane and then log out and come back to it later to see how things went. I also generally do development over SSH so it's nice to not have to re-set things up each time I SSH into the VM.

#26Yeah, just what I wanted- a terminal program that I need an account with a third party to use. Sorry, that’s actually a deal-breaker.
I expressed exasperation at the warping of a fundamental tool into a proprietary surveillance based monstrosity in another thread, where it was pointed out that this is an enterprise product to help new employees and the like.
But as long as the marketing copy continues to be phrased as if this thing is some generally-applicable good idea ("The Terminal for the 21st Century"), then I think it's wholly appropriate to continue calling it out for the freedom-destroying abomination that it is.
If the thing were released as Libre software and had a user-respecting fork, then perhaps I would hold my nose and give it a shot. But as it stands I can only hope this thing fails so spectacularly to repudiate the whole idea.

#27I wonder how much this is parsing the output of bash and how much it’s actually got it’s own shell? It seems to me that there is reasonable room for a better shell to exist.
Re: The Terminal for the 21st Century
#28Oh, this looks interesting. Let me download it.
Weird, it looks like I already downloaded it before, but I have no recollection of using it. Let's start!
Ah... that's the one that required a mandatory sign in to use, now I remember. Bye!

#30I use Warp daily as a fang dev, they have constantly improved the product. I'm a believer.
Any affiliation with the company making it?
