I have an interesting reason to not upgrade:

I use ghostty as my go-to terminal on my linux devices. I chose it after trying four or so with the way I work. It just works perfectly for me.

But I only really have one use case: 1) Work the way I want it to

I could list my wants as an example, but there is no point because I don't know whether my needs are being met by what they consider a mistake in their design or a feature they provide.

So you can understand my conundrum - am I relying on features and design they consider is broken? If so, my current set up will "break" for me, even if it is a measurable improvement for most other people. I don't know.

I have no reason to "fix" the "working" release for me.

This is meaningful when forced upgrades occur, because the cost of training is never borne by the software provider (looking at you, big 4 or 8 or however many there is now.)

I don't understand complaints like these, the tool is open source, fork it build it yourself and you will never have to update it. You really have the power to maintain your own tools.
