I instantly lose respect to any man that "drove crowded roads like a maniac, and got bored and slowed down on open ones. He wrecked a car roughly every year"

sorry just double checked what I said, it wasn't true, no such announcement. I misremembered

I think they said they will discontinue Air, it currently supports codex and claude as harness as opposed to pi, and own UI lib (this one seems web/electron based), shame.

> vertical tabs, that's it

split panels, profile switcher, tab groups...

The 90% remaining are UI gimmicks that are irrelevant anyway (mods, custom cursor, free canvas?). Even when Arc was still alive they're useless which is why the browser died (it sucked at doing things that matter). Zen just picked up this lack of focus and make it worse with the solo maintainer situation.

> first

Firefox has those features now, that's all that matters. Not sure I wanna trust a solo dev on my daily browser, however competent they are.

I've never been a host but I can't see why this would be a problem that AirBnB should make a call on. I've travelled to places where they have different social norms and visitors should adapt to local culture.

This is not about vision or anything like that it's about thinking like actual engineers and understand that what accidentally IS will always be inferior to what is designated to (can) be. TUIs will always be a hack and good by accident.

What's the logic behind not showing people the thing they are offered to download? And when you "peek" it, the thing seems... pretty standard stuff

GUI is not just your "overlapping windows" straw man, it's interactivity, plus graphical display. Yes via a taxonomy hack TUI is not GUI and there are technical hacks that bring graphics to TUIs these days, but the point remains that we need complex (but not overlapping windows, sure!) interactivity and rich display capability.

That is what we need, and if you're making the argument that a terminal shell is the best place to provide them then I don't know what to say.

You're a software engineer living in a middle of an AI revolution and you confuse what IS with what CAN BE? GUI can be good people just didn't do them because it took time and the foundation was shit (for the options that didn't take time). That all changes now when a new class of software can be generated with AI. Unfortunately the people generating software and their users still base the decision on what IS (with highly technical reasoning such as "infinitely better"). People literally have the power to define what IS these days. I've only recently switched from claude and codex cli to their respective apps and those apps while not the best gui apps, already infinitely better than tui. The tui is actually hurting my main usage of them which is controlling agent programmatically. The only really point I'd give for TUI is compatibility. Running coding agent directly on android/ios is nice sometimes.
