The passion and attention to detail Mitchell has for developer experience is beyond me. I remember the first time I used Vagrant (2011, Santa Monica California) like it was yesterday it was that impactful.
I never thought in a million years I would even think of ditching iTerm2 but when Ghostty dropped I installed it and fell in love.
Great question. For me it feels faster (anecdotally) and certain TUI components don’t break. It also is probably my bias of loving his work as well as everyone at work using it. Hive mentality I suppose.
My experience is similar. Stuff doesn't break and it feels extremely snappy. I've switched to Zed for the same reason. I came to realize that I work much better with faster, simpler software, even if it's missing some nice-to-haves. It feels like you're closer to the problem you're trying to solve.
I pay for Rewind, and honestly, it’s one of the best investments I've made in software. After each Zoom meeting, I receive a summary of everything discussed, including action items to add to my to-do list. Every Monday, I also ask it to remind me of what I accomplished the previous week to help me prepare for my 1:1 meeting. Everything is recorded locally, allowing me to search for anything I did earlier in the day quickly.
