Well apologies I guess for not making my case better, geeze. It's not easy to describe in words.
The visual indicators here were incredibly clear. The terminal's ability to go beyond textual representations & to clearly delineate - with nice slick graphics that far surpass the terminal - what's happening was deeply compelling, in a way I never would have guessed before seeing it.
I've tried some pretty nice/fancy neovim setups (mostly discarded, now on AstroVim 3) and while I appreciate what they can offer, I can't emphasize enough how great Warp was at presenting information in an effective fashion. The visual experience really understood what helpful information it could present in a powerful way.
Being skeptical that "just a fancier version" has nothing to offer you seems like a callous & shallow disregard. My experience was brief, maybe 30 minutes, and I want to do better justice & I'm sorry I haven't. But you also haven't left the door open to maybe consider that the fancier version is fancy for good reasons, that it has real & competent ergonomic & informational value. Let's meet in the middle & both try to do better.

I've also been rejecting it out of hand, but downloading it now having read your comment. It would need to go a long way to supplant my iTerm2 / Fish set-up, but I'm intrigued.
