alt Hacker NewsTheir terminal is just Alacritty, why would you do all these extra steps instead of just using Alacritty, or Ghostty? The terminal emulator was never their selling point, the AI wrapper was.

Considering it came out in 2020 - a few years before the LLM hype train left the station, and when I started using it there was no AI integration, this doesn't seem accurate.
I liked using it because of the text input.
This is just incorrect. Warp predates the AI craze, and one of its original selling points was reimagining how the terminal could work: it could be more native, and act like a REPL/chat, instead of a grid of characters.
