I agree, I am definitely happy with my terminal experience in general, and there is an equivalent for most of the features using a combination of TMux/ZShell/vi mode, etc etc... It actually feels like I'm living less of my life in UIs these days, and more in the terminal than I did in the 90s/early 2ks. I've definitely felt some performance improvement using Alacritty: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty

I think most people aren’t comfortable building a strung together shell environment, full of third-party tools to enable things like completion, search, sessions, etc. HN might have a lot of people who do, but I’d anecdotally wager that even that isn’t much. Having a terminal that has everything out of the box, without breaking due to incompatibility between the various tools, is a MASSIVE improvement.

  > I think most people aren’t comfortable building a strung together shell environment So please don't take my comment here as a critique on Warp. I was responding to the sentiment "I like my terminal as it is and I don't feel the pain outlined in the problem statement." As in I too feel this way. I recognize there are a lot of people who aren't me, and feel differently about things than I do. I imagine the desire for configurability and customization is similar to the argument between Vim/Emacs and IDEs. Some people love the customization, plugins, and building a tailored solution. Some people are going to love the out of the box feature set of something like Warp. The core I was trying to respond to really, was "The pain I feel is performance," which I also strongly relate to, and I wanted to call attention to another excellent Rust based terminal, Alacritty, which really has excellent performance for those of us who like cobbling together our terminal environments.
