The terminal is the last bastion of the "good old times" for many people. that's why a terminal aiming at modernizing the experience is so triggering

iTerm2 doesn't interfere with people wanting the same old experience and you don't even have to use it either. Being "triggered" by a free and open source passion project that has helped countless number of developers around the world is beyond absurd. "Ungrateful" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Don't get me wrong, I like it. But there's a fake nostalgia around terminals lately (nvim, oh-my-zsh, etc) and it seems emotional
People have always been emotional about their choice of software, I guess. But people are treating George, who has shown nothing but good faith this past 15 years of iTerm2 development, like the product manager of Windows Recall. That's a whole new level of emotional response which I don't understand where it's even coming from.
