Unfortunately, it will only tell you that after sending you through a ~3 minute setup process, asking for system permissions and installing a background helper.
Hell no.
The terminal system was built as a no-frills, bloat-free, real-time interactive interface over a 1200 baud serial line.
I wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole even if it was open source, and didn't have the creepy telemetry and mandatory email signup that others are rightly complaining about.
I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner either. The terminal is confusing enough. The last thing you want is a bunch of extra menus, icons, plugins, and JavaScript addons, together with a thing that types commands for you which interferes with learning and building muscle memory.
Anyway. I agree - requiring an email address to start testing the product made me instantly uninstall this app. Unfortunate!
Oops, out of beta too early? Well, probably not. Most people (and especially the target audience) don’t care about buying into something proprietary tainting something that was previously free. Offering an API instead of offering an own terminal will soothe most discontent.
Heck, I may even try if it turns out to work well. But you can probably tell how I feel about it.
VSCode add-on sounds interesting.
Someone at Microsoft get on this acquihire and get it implemented into Windows Terminal/PowerShell or whatever
