Not OP, but a fan of Warp.

> I - and I get the impression that's true for many developers - learned early to minimize the custom config.

I get the exact opposite impression. My understanding is that as developers become more experienced, they tune their setup more, and have more and more persisted customizations. I consider sshrc[1] a critical part of my workflow for this reason.

Most shells by default will occasionally spew out "garbage" text into the terminal like ^[[A. If you know why this happens it's possible to fix, but it's definitely a pain. Personally I consider it very important that all the places that I input text work consistently (e.g. move cursor by word, move cursor to end of line) and Warp providing that is a huge selling point to me.
