No reason to make a switch.

At least we know there are options. There are

  • different terminal with different feature sets such as terminal emulator with AI (the post was highly downvoted) e.g. warp
  • terminal with performance in mind e.g. Alacritty
  • terminal with simplicity in mind e.g. st, foot
  • terminal with styling in mind e.g. cool retro term

For me, I try them out and revise my choice accordingly.

My history of choices are Guake, Xfce terminal, konsole and Alacritty on Linux. Mac terminal, iTerm2, kitty and Alacritty on macOS.

Don’t forget wezterm

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

wezterm is the terminal users can configure with programming language. (Kitty also can be configured programmatically). It is way more than a terminal and has terminal multiplexing and tabs.

I once in a period where I was using wezterm, kitty and alacrity. I didn't choose wezterm because it uses too much memory for me.
