I checked the about page and damn.. It is a for profit company and quite a big team! It consists of 26 people (!) to build a terminal... It is probably going to be a subscription at some point.. Not for me.

Damn, 26 people, let's assume they get paid reasonably well, though they probably aren't all developers. I'm going to assume 100K on average, just spit balling.

That's two and a half million dollars per year to build a terminal (very conservative estimate). And, like, does it reeeeealy do more then other terminals? Especially when you include different shells with plugins? AI, it's so hot right now, but it is better than zsh or fish autocomplete? I built the simplest AI shell script to ask GPT-4 questions, easy, many FOSS options already out there, is that not good enough for people?

Yeah, I'm just having trouble figuring out how this isn't a waste of time and will implode when seed funding dries up.

I will never use a terminal that requires a subscription to use my own damn computer.

I will never be able to get behind a subscription-based terminal, with so much competition in the FOSS space for terminals, there's just no reason to.

That's the one problem. An LLM enhanced terminal sounds great. Sharing every command with the cloud does not.
