@Or1g3nn Yes it's GTK without the GTK backend it's instant, same on MacOS

I think there are cool features, I don't think it's anything ground breaking or earth shattering, but it's basically the best standard compliant implementation of a terminal i've seen, I live in the terminal and didn't have to do forensic analysis into github issues and stack overflow to understand why a keybind didn't work as expect in a TUI application. It's fast like most terminal these days but still, it's fairly plug and play, sane defaults, very easy to build from source. I mean is it worth switching over ? probably not, is it good ? yes definitely. I also really love that they have all the iterm2 themes out of the box. Took me 5 minutes to tweak and I was good to go.

I don't think it's anything ground breaking, but I've used it for the last couple months, and I think I will stick to it. Easy to build, fast, very spec compliant, builtin iterm2 themes. Nothing crazy but I like it. I'm also excited about it's future.

@doublescoopovanilla5835 There are even dumber reasons, but sometimes you cat the wrong file, and if your terminal sucks, you basically have to ctrl+d and restart a new one. There are other examples but slow terminals are actually noticeable if you area using the terminal.

@Kapendev Emphasis on the "should" but the reality is that they don't Ghostty as well as most recent terminals written in fast languages are fast and it's noticeable

@Kapendev That's different, when you make anything in Python you are basically making a game in C/C++. If you were to make a game entirely in Python, your game would be a slideshow.
