I like the idea of Warp, but I just can't get past the whole "login required to use a terminal" thing. If you force a login to use your closed-source app, beta or not, I'm sorry, but I can't take any commitment to privacy you make seriously whatsoever. No matter how well-intentioned you may be. That well's been poisoned beyond redemption by far worse people than you and there's just no going back.

Now if that login required barrier was removed, I'd at least be willing to give it a try. May not switch, but I'd be willing to give it a chance. But as it stands? Hard pass.

It also doesn't support/play nice with[1] tmux, which was a hard deal breaker for me.

"No matter how well-intentioned you may be."

... and they should already know all that, and there is really no believable excuse for not knowing all that already, and I don't for a second believe they don't.

So, really there is not even any doubt to give any benefit of the doubt like "even if you're well intentioned". Passed that already.
