Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal

I know it sounds logical to you, but the further down that road you go the worse your software will be in the end. Make software with a coherent vision and you can pick and choose features based on how will they fit that vision without needing to spy on your users, or turn it into a popularity contest.

Incidentally, you might be interested to know that in the last 8 hours my comment has gotten 25 upvotes; that’s a lot of lost customers.

No, that's a lot of people who upvoted your comment.

I'd wager anyone who agrees with your perspective is unlikely to have been a Warp customer in the first place.

(Speaking as one who tends towards your side of this discussion.)

I don’t mean that my comment cost them customers, only that the upvotes on my comment measures the customers they had already lost by using pervasive telemetry.

I doubt that even a plurality of the people who upvoted you would have installed Warp and wound up paying for it.
