The "non-intrusive" part is interesting. I've bit the bullet with AI assistance when coding - even when it feels like it gets in the way sometimes, overall I find it a net benefit. But I briefly tried AI in the shell with the warp terminal and found it just too clunky and distracting. I wasn't even interested in the AI features, just wanted to try a fancy new terminal. Not saying warp might not be useful for some people, just wasn't for me. So far I've found explicitly calling for assistance with a CLI command (I've used aichat for this, but there's several out there) to be more useful in those occasional instances where I can't remember some obscure flag combination.

Uninstalled warp, as the whole thing felt clunky and slow, and never even turned on the AI. You can accomplish everything it does with zsh + plugins without much fuss.
Same it performs like an electron app. And the whole must login thing soured me from the start. I don't need SaaS practices for the terminal and I don't trust that they aren't snooping either.
I moved away from Warp as well… to Ghostty. I didn’t find I got much benefit from Warp.
