iTerm2 doesn't interfere with people wanting the same old experience and you don't even have to use it either. Being "triggered" by a free and open source passion project that has helped countless number of developers around the world is beyond absurd. "Ungrateful" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Don't get me wrong, I like it. But there's a fake nostalgia around terminals lately (nvim, oh-my-zsh, etc) and it seems emotional

People have always been emotional about their choice of software, I guess. But people are treating George, who has shown nothing but good faith this past 15 years of iTerm2 development, like the product manager of Windows Recall. That's a whole new level of emotional response which I don't understand where it's even coming from.
