Warp vs Ghostty: which should you pick?
Choose Warp if you want the extras — command blocks, sharing and AI help. Choose Ghostty if you want a lean, extremely fast terminal that stays out of your way.
For reference, on Designeer both are tagged cli; Warp is also tagged ai. Tags come from each tool’s own description, not a scored benchmark.
