No, it is not "stunningly beautiful." Don't get me wrong, it looks GREAT, but c'mon, the definitions of those words just don't apply here.
I'm sad that Apple's over-the-top keynote/ad language continues to spread. Let's have some restraint, folks!
- DINKDINK 10y agoThanks for that stunningly beautiful commentary. /s
- jsmthrowaway 10y agoNever crossed your mind that it could be tongue-in-cheek given that it's a terminal emulator for Apple platforms, eh? I mean, the Twitter announcement included a Ron Paul GIF[0]. I'm just saying, maybe the pitchforks are a bit premature on this one. Jony Ive's not stumping for iTerm2 v3 Mk. IV.

- torgoguys 10y agoNo it hadn't, but looking at it, you're right that that could could be the intent. If so, perhaps my crankiness towards such things (it's not just this project that uses such phrases) projected itself into a comment at the wrong moment. In any event, if it is meant to be tongue-in-cheek it could stand a bit of a rewrite anyway since in that case, it isn't over the top enough to make its intent clear. :-) The big tag above is "iTerm2 is a terminal emulator for OS X that does amazing things." "Amazing" is also over-the-top, but again not enough if trying for parody. It' a bit of a poe (look up poe's law if you're unfamiliar). It's hard to tell whether they mean it or not. If parody, throw in a few "magicals" and such and my thick brain would get the clue.
