I … Wha…. WHY??
“built on an open web framework…”
hard pass then. Why the hell would I want to open a browser instance for a terminal???
I’m not an electron hater, but a terminal in electron sounds like a parody.
Cross platform, a long as it’s mac or linux lol.
Are you implying that there is anything else that matters?

Unfortunately this terminal emulator uses electron, but otherwise looks nice
Electron is a DEALBREAKER!
No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?
And a warning: it’s got telemetry on by default.
Backed by VC, so you know they’re just waiting for an exit
Very, very hard pass. Might even blow out my suspension doing so
I’ll have a look to this, a VScode editor like for remote can be handful sometime
so… vscode? you can install an extention for remote connections (made by MS)
Vscode even has a terminal built in haha
so it’s vscode, but not. you can just install an extention to get remote abilities.
What the fuck does it actually do, and what is one use case?
Well it collects data from you, and one use case for your data is allowing a nice 💰 exit for the venture capital -backed company building it.
Other than that, not a whole lot that’s worth yet another “powered by open web standards” Electron piece of shit
Wezterm or death. I would have chosen Alacritty, if pasting in Vim wasn’t broken.
Personally I am waiting for the warp terminal to try it out: https://www.warp.dev/
lol, no thank you
