coltonson Launch HN: Fig (YC S20) – Autocomplete for the Terminal

To me I think it is the antithesis of a developer tool. ZSH auto complete works 99% of the time for everything. FIG, while cool, seems more like a capitalistic way to capture developers who like fancy new things, when the open source, free, tried and true works every time. Once again, I dont speak for all devs, and I am an AVID terminal user, so I like to keep things simple, free, and open. This product and why you created it and what you are going to do with it makes me cringe :(

coltonson Launch HN: Fig (YC S20) – Autocomplete for the Terminal

Looks really cool, but I would always use zsh-auto-complete. Maybe your market is for people that prefer GUI's over terminal, but like terminal power, or the newer generation of coders who went to code school and are not the older school terminal in the weeds people (sorry for a generalization)

I want to point out that Asana CEO meeting OP for coffee and basically starting a competition is one of the healthiest and most amazing things I have ever read/heard about. The market was a game. Amazing, and something you only read about happening in startup land.
