> trying to make Warp more customizable so you can pick and choose which of the extra, non-terminal features

I think this will contribute even more to the overwhelming feeling. I don't think people want endless configuration. They want something with an opinionated product direction. It seems like Warp lacks that resolve and is trying to be too much because nobody has decided what it is actually supposed to be.

that's fair. we try to be opinionated on the default experience but allow a lot of customizability.
