What in Warp heavily impressed you?
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThe popover historic-sensitive autocomplete was incredibly helpful & superbly semantically aware. The separators between commands enhanced readability in ways I would never have guessed possible.
- aaravchen 3y agoSee that's one of the things that _didn't_ impress me. It's basically just a fancier way of doing what's already available in stock Fish installs and slightly tuned zsh ones.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoWell I apologize I guess for not making my case clearer. It's not easy to describe in words. The visual indicators here were incredibly clear. The terminal's ability to go beyond textual representations & to clearly delineate - with nice slick graphics that far surpass the terminal - what's happening was deeply compelling, in a way I never would have guessed before seeing it. I've tried some pretty nice/fancy neovim setups (mostly discarded, now on AstroVim 3) and while I appreciate what they can offer, I can't emphasize enough how great Warp was at presenting information in an effective fashion. The visual experience really understood what helpful information it could present in a powerful way. Being skeptical that "just a fancier version" has nothing to offer you seems like a callous & shallow disregard. My experience was brief, maybe 30 minutes, and I want to do better justice & I'm sorry I haven't. But you also haven't left the door open to maybe consider that the fancier version is fancy for good reasons, that it has real & competent ergonomic & informational value. Let's meet in the middle & both try to do better.
