Why do I get the sinking feeling that the comments here are going to turn out to be like "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."; and despite looking like the Juicero of terminal emulators now, Warp will be table stakes for any upcoming developer 10 years from now, who will be unable to fathom using a bare shell in xterm or even something like Kitty?

What makes you think that other terminals like https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty or https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty can't catch-up in features?

For one, closed-source is a non starter to many and I only see this trend going up.

No, this is not a dropbox-like launch. And criticism seems pretty fair so far.
