> I feel pretty strongly that the terminal ought to be cloud-native
This seems like an oxymoron to me. A terminal is not cloud-native; it does network with the host machine, but a local shell is inherently local. If you've built the cloud part first, then you're building this product in reverse.
You're welcome to explore whatever avenues please you, but I'm not convinced there's much business to be found in cloud-native local shells.

No sweat, I don't actually use Warp. This isn't a legitimate concern for me to level, just an example of the infinite treadmill of issues that you need to solve in a closed-source project. If alacritty has a configuration issue, the community fixes it. The way you've structured your project makes it extremely hard for your community to help you here.
> We are 100% planning on bringing warp to more platforms as fast as we can.
I wish you luck, it's hard work carving out a market segment of your own. I look forward to how your future features stack up against other terminals.
