I use Warp daily as a fang dev, they have constantly improved the product. I'm a believer.
What does being a "fang dev" have to do with the quality of this terminal?
That is unless you subscribe to the belief that Apple has an overwhelming tech dominance or are an Apple stan and any refuse to recognise any other platform.
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-based CRDT editor and our own graphics shaders.
Did you now? Well, that sounds problematic. I expect the use of well-vetted common (if not standard) libraries. Also, why does a terminal app need graphics shaders?

Edit: Oh, it looks like I was even more suspicious last time this was announced here on HN:
Fast, easy to use and remembers commands from previous sessions which has been incredibly useful a number of times
This looks interesting. Is it MacOS only? And how does it behave with tools like tmux or ssh?
Sorry, that’s actually a deal-breaker.
I'm a daily kitty user. I tried WezTerm but it was way too slow to load NeoVim for me over ssh.
Would need to play with it for some time - main things I can't live without at the moment are `ssh` + multiplexing across a remote session, and speed. It looks like Warp also doesn't support fish _well_ (most comments say it supports bash/zsh well). I am not necessarily attached to fish, but it is nicer IMHO.
Although, it looks like you have to login???? which is an immediate deal-breaker.
It's the terminal with telemetry - so an instant no-go.
