A terminal with inbuilt keylogger, sending all my keystrokes into the cloud? No, thank you.

I have been searching for a replacement since iTerm is not the greatest on macOS. Will give this a try

Really? iTerm is rock solid. Even macOS Terminal is pretty decent. Both options are a lot better than anything I’ve tried on Windows.

Have you tried Windows Terminal? iTerm is very slow for me on M1.

Warp 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.

It appears to be a hand-hold terminal designed for developers rather than sysadmins.

That's fine - I'm sure there's a place in the market for that. But given that's the audience, I doubt sign-up is a non-starter for most.

Have been using it daily for about a year now together with zag and starship and absolutely love it! Fast, easy to use and remembers commands from previous sessions which has been incredibly useful a number of times

I don't mean to come off as a grumpy old greybeard, but how does this differ from other terminals?

Every terminal I've ever used as a daily driver has had command history, has been fast (it's a terminal) and has been easy to use (which is of course subjective).

Looking at the feature set, it seems like they're trying to squeeze some bastardized IDE into a terminal. What is the selling point for you over, say kitty or iTerm2?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

fang devs like to think that they are somehow superior to the rest of us. So they think mentioning that they work for a fang company gives their statements greater importance.

That’s not what I was getting at. I’m actually half retarded when it comes to dev. What I meant was that warp went above and beyond to accommodate organizational enforced security policies that were breaking warp for me.

Okay fair enough

That’s not an apology.
