Founder of Fig here. For context, Fig integrates with your existing terminal and shell.
A few things we've found:
1. Developers are understandably opinionated about their terminal/shell setup. It's a matter of personal productivity.
2. We have noticed a general trend of more terminal use happening in IDE, not a standalone terminal.
3. Most terminal "collaboration" happens asynchronously not synchronously (e.g. shared scripts, CLIs, secrets etc as opposed to live terminal sharing)
4. Most of the collaboration happens at the shell level not the terminal level
Given the above, we made the conscious conscious decision not to build our own terminal.

This. I barely use terminal outside of Jetbrains, and heard similar things from other devs.
And people who live in vim/emacs (I used to live in vim)- I would be surprised if they'd pickup something that might interfere with their setup, like tmux or special plugins etc. (forcing login stuff aside- assuming that'll be removed at some point)
But maybe warp folks will find a way to play nice with everything, or be simply too useful to not use.

Happy to elaborate more
