I would love to pay for Arc, it makes me happy and productive. Unfortunately, it seems like the number of people willing to do is too small to support VC valuations and they are abandoning the product :(
Do you have a source for that?
I remember seeing this terminal emulator, deciding to give it a shot to see what the deal is, and being asked to sign in. I have never uninstalled a program faster in my life. I think I'll just stick to iTerm.
Never understood why people use iTerm. I know back in the day it was because of the lack of tabs in Terminal.app, but tabs were added long ago and tmux was always a better option for that kind of functionality anyway. Genuinely curious because I feel like I'm missing something. I tried it again a while ago and still couldn't see anything I couldn't already do.

Yes they absolutely do. If you think otherwise you are mistaken - the HN commentariat is not representative.
And even if config files were involved, do you think people configure their terminals (editors, whatever) not to increase productivity? Do you think we use vi as a sort of fidget spinner, and just edit our configs for the sake of editing them?
The other commenters are right: Warp has no real target user base. This, I believe is by design because their business model is Juicero for bash. They exist to farm VC money.

Not sure a lot of people would agree. Tmux is way less intuitive than tabs/split panes directly supported by the terminal emulator. Also tmux is dog slow compared to native tabs.

Tons of features. - Multiple profiles - Logging of terminal output to files - Regexp search - Search marks matches in the scrollbar - Quick jump between prompts — it knows where prompts are in the output, so you can quickly scroll to each position - Window splitting - Filtering — like find, but filters the window to only show matches - Triggers: Do an action such as bouncing the app icon or playing a sound when a tex…
- Minimal theme mode for a more simplified window appearance.
On a more serious tone, how could this thing raise 73 million USD? I wish one could short startups.
Edit: Wow, it gets better.
Their terminal only works on Mac, do they need to raise more $$$ to bring it to Linux/Windows?
Also, at $15/mo, they'd need about 400,000 paying users to even recoup the investment. Will that many OS X users pay $180/year for something that is essentially free?
How does this make sense? Did they accidentally stumble into AGI and are keeping this a secret except for their investors? Are they laundering money? This whole scheme makes WeWork seem sane.

I've now tried Warp twice (once off the back of this post). Switching back to iTerm2 again because of https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1811 I like the sound of the other two features (rich text editing and automatic AI commands) but the muscle-memory cost is too high.
Since I'm not the target audience I can't say whether this is both "automatic" and the thing you're looking for, but: https://iterm2.com/documentation-preferences-general.html#:~...
People on HN are so ludicrously out of touch. Yes we all wish we could live in Hackerville and spend all day tweaking config files to customize our ultra fast rendering OSS terminal emulators. In the real world most people are not using terminals for the sake of fooling around with config files, they are trying to accomplish real tasks. For these people, paying for a terminal or using something that is login-gated is…
Western config takes like 2 seconds. And out of the box it's pretty, easy to use and fast. Also let's be real. All the default terminals are great and fast enough for typical use cases, the only ones that really care about GPU accelerated terminals are the ones that use editors in the terminal, so they're going to be customizing everything anyway.

split pane vertical: cmd + D
split pane horizontal: cmd + shift + D
focus pane left: cmd + [
focus pane right: cmd + ]
Just gold standard imo. tmux is great software and very useful on remote machines but its keybinds don't come close.
