Honestly Tmux, vim, kitty, almost every terminal, shell, script is configurable. It’s what we’re used to. I wouldn’t know why you wouldn’t start allowing more config options.
I do not use CC (yet) but I think this is the right direction. We are hackers. We love hacking. We love to tinker about and configure! Please allow us.
(And yeah, I would love the verbose mode myself, but there could be various levels to it.)
