somebody thinks a new experimental shell/terminal is a viable commercial product; why not mine?
I'm glad people are working on these although as you say yourself, commercial viability is tricky. I like the non-SaaSyness of this but then I'm still left with having to:
1. change my shell
2. change my terminal
3. but not on Windows
4. rely on a single person for bugfixes, security issues, features
5. pay $40/yr for the privilege
None of these things are individually an insurmountable hurdle but they add up to a pile of friction. In the words of sales theorist J. Winnfield, "Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig".
