$25/month is “basically free”?

in the context of software engineering, yes.

It's more than I pay for IDEA Ultimate.

From the absurdly CPU-intensive landing page it seems the novelty is mainly some network storage and an LLM-integration, things I already have several of in my terminals on my work computer. I switch over to them in the blink of an eye because my window manager is extremely responsive and keeping their output localised and not split up in a single pseudo-conversation in my current main terminal is a perk, not a bug.

I... it's a terminal. Free and completely functional alternatives have existed since xTerm hit public release back in the '80s.

Am I going insane? Why would you pay for this unless you have a workplace humiliation fetish?

There is free furniture on Craigslist.

I don’t care if a tool is free or paid, I care if it is going to make my life better. You can sit in the office laughing at me for paying to use software, I’m not bothered, because I won’t be in the office to hear the laughter, as I’ll be using all the time I’ve saved to do something I want to do.

Pay me $250k/year to write code and I’ll spend $5k of that on a paid for editor and a paid for terminal and a paid for git client and a paid for database client and a paid for rest client and a paid for shortcut app so that I can go home at 3pm every day and spend my remaining $245k on the things I care about instead of being stuck in the office micromanaging my vim configuration so that the nerds will respect me.

Look at their landing page. Instead of switching to a web browser or LLM-shell when you want to query out how to generate some boilerplate you can just type it into your terminal and you'll get responses there without having to resort to Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, like we troglodytes do.
