I am always curious to see new approaches to the classical terminals that i've been using for 20+ years now. So i don't mind this trend.

What i've seen so far was mostly aesthetics and less "functional" stuff, which makes me wonder: Maybe there isn't that much to improve?

There's a lot that can be improved in the terminal experience, I think. Discoverability is a huge issue with CLI apps, for instance.

Discover the app that does a specific thing or discover the options inside the app? For the former I don't see how to help except studying what's available. For the latter we've been having man and info since at least the 80s.

Both. GUI interfaces and apps have menus and undo that help with discoverability. To do something equivalent in CLI after not using a tool requires several invocations of man, --help, etc., and checking and rechecking that you hadn't got something wrong that can result in something catastrophic. Stuff like Warp seems like they with that, by interactively displaying most relevant info to help you write the right invocations.
