I used to really like Warp, back when it was just a terminal. Then as they went more and more in on AI the actual terminal features became more and more buggy and I ended up having to go back to WezTerm.
Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones?

My absolute favorite thing about Warp is the function that suggest a new command intelligently when the one I just ran failed or changes to the code when execution failed. Haven't been able to replicate that as smoothly in Ghostty which I really want to enjoy but honestly haven't really felt the same delight I got from Warp.

Warp is bloated in recent releases. I just want an old warp, lightweight and fast. Returned to the default terminal.

They hype up not needing a third party binary to remote and run agents against SSH'ed systems, but how does this "cloud agent" work then? Are they shelling you through their own back-end? Because that sounds bad and probably wrong? Maybe its a different use case.

The other day in warp I literally couldn't run `ls` because it kept interpreting it as a AI command. I still love warp, but some of the stuff is crazy.

So this is a competitor to something like OpenCode or Pi? I suspect for most developers, they are using Claude Code or Codex CLI mainly just so they don't have to pay-per-token and can use the subscription products - which I assume can't be done with Warp Agent?

I prefer the Orca / Herdr multiplexer implementation, not a fan of this style.

I do like integrating the shell with the agent. That seems like something I do occasionally need. But the occasion when I need it is getting rarer and rarer so I suspect that this is building a feature for 6 months ago.

I've read the product description and I don't see anything that's truly unique

I like the terminal emulator but I just don't see any use for the agentic stuff.
I've disabled it all because it gets in the way.

I use warp if you don’t like the AI stuff you can turn it off.

im glad you guys open sourced the terminal, just in case, you know...

The irrational exuberance of these guys. It's interesting to see what happened, somebody somewhere got the very very bad idea (if the goal is to make money) of "we will build, like the BEST terminal."
Which, given open-source, is just going to be a dead-end, even before AI. Because software likes to be modifiable, and this sort of thing is literally at the center of people who like to modify software.
But, hey, if something good comes of it, fantastic. I mostly the think of Docker, an unqualified success in software and probably a huge failure in business.
And the latter actually makes this a double-good; a "successful" docker would have somehow monopolized some very important part of the process, and docker is too good to be gatekept like that.
