Review Warp?
Reviewers mostly see Warp as a fast, modern terminal that improves everyday work with block-based output, strong workflow tools, useful Git and navigation shortcuts, and AI that helps recall commands, write scripts, and handle routine tasks. Many say it replaced Terminal, iTerm, or tmux in daily use. Founders from Prelint and Slashy echo that speed, convenience, and shared workflows help real development work. The main complaints are forced login and onboarding, high pricing, and some clunky settings, hotkeys, autocomplete, and subshell support.

I just love how quick Warp feels to use. We're actually not that big users of its AI integration but I love how everything just... feels convenient. I love the interface buttons for switching branches etc just folded into the interface, I love the vertical tabs that feel much more natural compared to other terminal apps.
What needs improvement
I feel the settings can be a bit unintuitive to use and the settings search doesn't always work

I've been using Warp for a couple of months, can honestly say it's a game changer in the terminal game. It's still early days for Warp, but I see the team iterating on it and release updates all the time. It's so much easier to use - browse history, save commands, share snippets with the team etc. Obviously there are hardcore terminal users with crazy setups and shortcut mappings for who this won't be their cup of tea, but for most developers using a terminal in their day-to-day workflow it's a game changer!
I relied on Warp AI heavily to debug errors I was getting in running the Astro project as well as the CLI Node.js logic. I also used Warp Drive to store all my workflows for the project.
I switched to Warp after being a long-time user of iTerm. After I saw Warp's use of blocks a few years back, I wanted to test it out. Due to a device limitation, I couldn't, but after that was resolved, I started to use Warp and haven't looked back since.
Now we're in the age of AI Agents and MCP. And the launch of Warp 2.0 has not disappointed. Warp has seen the trends and taken its time implementing them, and it shows. The new Agentic Development Environment fits nicely into Warp's use of blocks and features like secret redaction.
Warp has not only maintained its position as my preferred terminal, but will now also be my guide into the age of AI-assisted development. I'm sure I will continue to use Warp for many years to come, I don't see a reason not to.
What's great
AI integration (2)terminal as IDE (4)block-based output (2)
I'm really proud to say I've been using Warp since early beta, and have been on their paid/AI plan since it was first offered. I work on macOS, Ubuntu and Windows, so having Warp on all platforms is my saving grace. Using the terminal as an IDE is a new skill I'm developing. Since VScode doesn't really let your integrate Warp into their terminal, I'm not sure if Warp will one day be my primary IDE (hoping for some future there). My favorite feature is "Warpify" your shell into WSL or when you SSH into your VPS (boom)... powerful mang!
It started out great, but the forced login and survey does it for me. Sure, I will login if it improves my experience on your app, and especially if I already like it -- but I hate being forced to go through it when I'm trying to get something done. It doesn't end there either, we have a long mandatory survey with mandatory questions, and a tiny hidden skip button for some of the questions. Why put the skip button there at all if you're so desperate to have people answer your survey?
For fairness to Warp, the configuration for the app was reset after I had to reset my macOS password, and the keychains were removed / not synched yet. It is a one time step when you first install the app, but I continue to dislike being made to go through that long process for a terminal.
Hi Naved, thank you so much for your feedback. The survey is optional, but it's our bad this is not obvious enough. We're going to refresh that survey, and hopefully we can win you back then.
Warp is a good terminal. It is fast and reliable.
It works well with multiple tabs and makes tab switching easy. It also has a ton of preset commands and allows you to create your own presets workflows.
However its auto complete is not great. One thing that I miss in particular is auto-complete for git commands.
For example, when pushing to a remote repository for the first time, you usually use: "git push -u origin ", unfortunately when I type "git push -u origin " with the name of the current branch. It instead uses the name of another one, and only presents the correct suggestion after pressing tab.
This can be confusing at times, since you might set the wrong remote branch by mistake.
Handling git was something that their competitor, Fig, did very well. Personally, I would like to have a similar experience on Warp.
Also, the hotkeys are sometimes unintuitive, for example, when you get an auto-complete suggestion, you have to press the right arrow to accept it, because pressing tab will open the auto-complete menu.
I've been using Warp for a couple months now and it has completely changed my development flow (for the better!). I am a heavy terminal user, most of my development flow lives in the terminal. I was also a heavy TMUX user, but with Warp I've basically replaced my TMUX flow with Warp's default functionality. It's easy to use, it looks great, and it makes finding new functionality extremely easy.
The customer support is also great, I had some questions about upcoming features and they were on top of keeping me up to date which I really appreciate.
Warp is a very fast, modern take on what a Terminal program should be, moving away from the old tty model to take advantage of modern features. I found it very easy to work with, it was just missing a few features for me to use as a daily terminal. It is improving rapidly, and the developers are VERY responsive to the community.
Keybindings are getting better, and nearly where I need them to be. Some programs that were designed around manipulation of TTY output can have visual problems in Warp, but that is improving as well. The ability to easily grab the output of a command, and a strong workflow system and (multiline!!!) command line history are standout features.
As someone who has been using Bash/ZSH after coming from Kornshell in the 80s, the lack of a vi-mode is a bit of a hinderance, but I look forward to integrating that in a true multiline local editing environment.
This project genuinely changed the way I work with a terminal. I get work done faster, I don't have to faff around with searching for weird command-line commands thanks to Workflows, I can generate my own commands using natural language through OpenAI and also share output blocks with people as fast as possible. I really like where this project is going and I am really excited to see what's next for Warp in terms of collaboration.
It's amazing. I wish there was something like it for Windows too. The AI part is really useful for writing those verbose commands or helping remember that flag you rarely need in a command, but when you need it, it's the only way. Also, just being able to navigate around with the VSCode keybindings is a game changer. Also, the way it groups, segments the command history makes navigating through your history a breeze
I love warp. I didn't think I would want command line AI, but damn if it doesn't guess my next command pretty darn well. And when I needed it to retag some docker containers for GCP I just told it what I wanted and the suggestion was spot on.
