// EDITOR'S TAKE

WaveTerm is the closest single replacement, pairing a modern terminal with AI and inline previews in one app. If raw speed matters more than built-in AI, Ghostty and Kitty are faster and leaner terminals with no agent attached, and pairing either with opencode or Aider gets you most of Warp's workflow from two focused tools.
