Practically all of my work happens inside a terminal. Git, kubectl, tmux, ssh'ing into a server, open practically the entire day. Something I use that much has to be fast. Any lag in opening a new tab, typing a character or hitting tab for a completion is something I feel hundreds of times a day. It's death by a thousand cuts.
