I tried it for a bit, and it is kind of way too raw..but most of all it is pretty useless (at least to me) and hard to describe how strongly I hate this cursor. A lot of whys honesty . Cannot understand why it is promoted so hard …

WTF do you mean? The rat is now the cornerstone of my terminal's functionality.

Sometimes its nice to do a silly thing because we can. Like the gnome extensions that bring back wobbly windows or other egregious compiz effects

Useless? If we can get everyone to use this thing, we can finally invent the internet from Johnny Mnemonic!

Nothing to add. Just want to acknowledge that it is a well crafted comment

it's experimental, it's not supposed to be an actual terminal to be used (at least i don't think anyone would), the potential is future implementation of 3d rendering inside the terminal. it's a similar scenario to when kitty started to introduce images inside the terminal. is it necessary? no. but it's fun.
