Firstly, iterm2 is open source software (free as in beer and as in speech) and comes with no warranties.
Secondly, solo developer of iterm has excellent reputation from my point of view. History of his work on this project is something to strive for any developer and seems that always acts in (very) good faith while releasing software and replying to issues in threads.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42582206 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42582206 - entitled for what features should exist or not in open source software. Also that feature was opt-in as far as I am aware. (EDIT: this user is also new and commented only on this post, with karma in the negative)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42581350 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42581350 - entitled to how solo FOSS developer should act and write a critical update release response, with hints that said developer may not act in good faith.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42579595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42579595 - again entitled to what (or how many) features FOSS application should or shouldn’t have. Ironically also complains with entitled attitude that another FOSS software doesn’t have enough feature development.
There’s more, but obviously it’s subjective to reader’s interpretation. There were couple comments with attitude - that the developer shouldn’t be allowed to touch software ever again, but either I have missed them or they have deleted their comments.

It was too offensive and got flagged. Worse, the commenter doubled down instead of taking it back, I'm afraid. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42581359 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42581359
