I have always wanted a notebook style UI for terminal because I need to go back to what I learnt many times (say AWS CLI commands ...with syntax as well as output saved) The visual separation of each command and output into block seems like a step in that direction?

Why not just use Jupyter? It has a zsh kernel[1].

A new terminal is nice, I guess.

But all I ever wanted was simply the ability to disable line wrap.

Nobody gets promoted for implementing a line wrap toggle in the old terminal, but they do for creating an entirely new terminal.

I'm normally cynical bastard resistant to change. But Jetbrains new IDE styling is really good. I use it in WebStorm everyday and see no reason to move back to the old UI. Kudos Jetbrains.

I don’t get the extreme hate around here for new UI. I turned it on just to see and felt nothing really changed. Maybe it’s because I almost exclusively use keyboard shortcuts? I can already feel the angry replies being smashed into keyboards…

At a glance, this looks like https://warp.dev/ Terminal.

https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/getting-started-with-w... This visually does look great, but a login required for a local terminal is a deal breaker for me.

Heh, they make a point to calm users that it can truly be offline, later... at the loss of features.

Just log in first, please - 'valuation and stuff'

Christ they're pulling all the lead tricks. Supply an email to get a download link at the top, scroll down to find it listed.

Borderline insulting

In almost a decade of using Pycharm I have not once used the builtin shell. (Debug console is another matter.) It can never beat the system terminal+shell setup you pick yourself (for me Alacrity+z4h zsh distro). I can only see it as a nice-to-have for when you for some reason cannot install your own terminal. The UI-UX divergence from the system-wide shell setup will always be too wide and incur a learning-curve/fea…

Personally I find it really useful for juggling interpreters between projects and keeping their state alive. There are CLI solutions for this, of course, but it's another set of commands to remember.

Except that Alacrity is not the system terminal.

I've been waiting for years for the ability to have two of them side by side (edit: you can).

Also not really convinced by the new UI (I tried it in Android Studio), mostly because I don't see anything wrong with the "old" one.
