Mitchell could have easily snuck his competing product Rex in there but resisted. Respect.

I'd be happy there even if he did, maybe there's a delayed schedule for Rex to be publicly available.

I had a look to see how Rex was coming along the other day and it seems there's still no Linux beta (though MacOs users have one).
I'm still interested to check it out though none of these things have ever interested me too much so far.

I like Rex and have started using it and its replacing Ghostty for me. This has made me a bit confused: is the intent for Rex to replace Ghostty? not sure when I would use one vs the other yet
