I’m old, and curmudgeon, so I say this with much disdain: there are few things that need ”updating” or “multiplayer”, and the terminal is not one of them.
Edit: forgot a word

I think you forgot a "not"
Thanks!
Warp is a great terminal imho with new features being added that make life in the terminal easier.
Login can go though. But there might be someone who loves the multiplayer feature.
Like what
It didn’t start out with the AI feature, now if I don’t remember a command fully I can just type “# thing I want to do” and it will give you an a template where you can fill in the right variables for your case.
It’s not flawless but pretty good and saves me “man-ing” and searching.
Saves your from learn-ing
Sometimes I want to learn, sometimes I just need to get something done. Why not be able to do both?
Because then you’ll never learn.

Lol, whatever 😂
Frees them up to learn important things.
Maybe they would be better off on windows.
Kind of in the same boat, but I can see this being useful for distributed Ops teams, or possibly in support.
Warp is just creepy as shit. Even if they're pulling back on requiring an account to use a terminal I can't see myself giving it another try.
I guess the little options of a pull down terminal by hotkey and a specific colorizing transparency are the only GUI things I look to from Yakuake and Konsole, but so many things can be accomplished internally. I love learning to think on the command line and creating things. I feel blessed and ingenious to just take care of things like a lot of servers or databases when needed where there isn't a tool around to solve an issue using terminal utilities all building a secure and helpful solution. I can just create my own customizations and setup or borrow from others', including AI connections, in BASH and ZSH. It's been years between needing a new tool or change, and the last one was only converting from BASH to ZSH because of people's good work in customizations I liked.
Slightly offtopic, but I'm looking for a new terminal, can I have some recommendations? I feel like Warp is not going to be on the list.
It depends on what you need on a terminal. If I just wanted a terminal, I'd go with Foot, but Konsole (on KDE Plasma) might be a good all-around solution.
Konsole is great on kde
I like Rio
Wezterm is my go to
Seconded.
Wezterm is one of the best, most customisable terminals I've used.
It's super fast, and there's a lot you can do with it.
The multiplexing still has some rough edges, but it's getting closer and closer to replacing tmux for me.
Kitty term is quite good Or if you want something that just damn works, xfce4-terminal is one I can't get myself to replace
Yeah kitty is really good. I did mostly choose it for the name, but it might be the best terminal emulator out there. It's fast, with a lot of great modern features.
iTerm2 works well enough
