I'm gonna be that guy:

Why am I supposed to be excited for this?

I dug around their site to try and answer your question for myself. Nothing I saw would make me want to switch terminals (I'm content with whatever built-in comes with the OS, usually), but it has some interesting flashy bits:

  • "Warp AI" is ChatGPT baked into the app. Might be handy for certain situations, but it's online only soooooo why wouldn't I just use ddg?
  • "Warp Drive" is a way to make / organize / share user scripts. Seems to be focused on team-based sharing.
  • the app separates commands into blocks, which might make scripting faster/easier for some people.

If I felt lost in the terminal, a lot of these features would be attractive to me.

Well, you know, it's something different. ;).

Give me a term that I can bash on, and I'm good. (Or whatever a user wants to use other than bash).

I do like Cool Retro Term though. Sometimes it's fun to look at something from the 70's or 80's.

Cheers!
