Our mission is to improve the developer experience in the terminal.

We think that layer on new interfaces can help make the commandline even more powerful... as well as making it more accessible. Check out kui[0] to get an idea of what we're imagining.

where does terminal lack user-experience in your opinion?

you really think your proprietary, VC-baked, telemetry-enabled product would improve developer experience?

a terminal is accessible as it gets and doesn’t need a web interface

this is just a pervert version of Electron

Tens of thousands of developers use Fig everyday and seem to really enjoy the autocomplete affordances that we've added.

That said, if you already are very comfortable in the terminal, some of the pain points that we're tackling might be less acute for you.
