Why do people look for a Warp alternative?

Sends AI queries and data to Warp's servers, raising privacy concerns. Requires an account sign-in and internet connection, a non-starter for offline or privacy-conscious workflows. High memory usage (roughly 300-500 MB) compared to lightweight terminals. To be fair to Warp: no lock-in, open at every layer (any agent, any model, your compute or theirs, your data); enterprise ready with guardrails and central permission management. If that's what matters most to you, it may still be the right call.
