What’s the one alternative to wait you world switch in a heart beat

Trying to discover what it is that AI conversational terminal users want deep down

Been building my project similar to warp but I still can’t find that one singular thing most/a lot of
Your user prefers

Why do you prefer to talk to your terminal in English rather than using a basic terminal?

From all the complaints and compliments I’ve heard from here, there is a need for - more control and features that improve the quality of the process, clean /premium UI (so a better environment/place instead of the ugly raw style) to run your commands

People don’t want to be overwhelmed by updates and features (so, simplicity and a calm experience?)

Wanting lower pricing (that’s a warp issue not with the pro and cons with the AI as a terminal model)

I’ve attempted to own the calmer, safer, cheaper, better-looking, and simplified positioning and I’m realizing it’s the wrong way to go with it -check the app itself: https://www.verlox.app

I know why I prefer an AI terminal, I’m not great with syntax and commands, just haven’t had the time to learn them -but I use them as someone entering the dev world -while and side code will still tell me to do things on my own on terminals

Also, that x what the heck makes warp or any AI terminal not a “can’t Claude code/codex/cursor do this?

If someone would be interested in a chat with me either here or private I would be grateful -even better, if someone is willing to check out my app and give me honest feedback, I’ll make them a lifetime pro package

I know I prefer AI terminals but I’ve never been the type to build solo projects just for me —I need people to experience it with me and overall solve an issue/get a spot on the market

So again, why warp?, Why not PowerShell?, What would you personally say makes warp not another Claude code or cursor

What would you want or like about conservational terminals?

I would be waiting for any replies or just here so we can talk about the offer

Fix Warp please - Terminal workflow. Sure...

The AI agents in u/warp are fundamentally broken. Working with the terminal has become impossible:

  • Failing at basic tasks.
  • Draining user credits for useless, broken outputs.
  • Risking client relationships (luckily, I validated the code before delivery).

Don't ask for a session ID. Look at your own QA process and the endless community threads regarding your massive quality drop. This is unprofessional and disrespectful to paying customers.

P.S.: Currently forced back to Kimi 2.6. Using Warp's native AI to manage costs compared to Opus is pointless if the product is this broken. It's just a money sink.

The latest update is HORRENDOUS

Sorry to say, but its almost unusable. I just updated to the latest version today (last update was a few weeks back) and conversing with agent is completely broken.

When the agent asks for my action, like inputting a password, the conversation completely dies and there is no way to resume the conversation, no matter what I do.

CMD+Enter also never starts a new session, it just sends the previous agent into some sort of a loop. If I press the 'X' button on the small dialoge box in the bottom right which shows my prompt, everything freezes.

I dont know if you guys have been vibe coding this, but given how many people rely on this, I think you guys need to test your releases better.

The only work around I've figured out is to fork the conversation and then Shift+CMD+R to resume.

But I shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops when I have to input a password or perform an action using "Take Over".

Credit usage skyrocketed for basic tasks, why?

Attaching two screenshots:

  1. My prompt (basic job: read my comment for PR, ask questions if any, don't make any code changes):

  1. Usage summary:

Why on Earth it costed me 300 credits?

Yes it was Opus 4.8. But if you sell 400 credits for 10 bucks, it means that Warp OZ reads my comment for 8 bucks with Opus 4.8. Seriously? It's not an Anthropic issue.

I began to use Warp literally yesterday, but was looking forward to it from long ago. I would be happy to migrate all my real job and side projects to Warp.

But this pricing just doesn't make any sense.
