Why another terminal?
oneeyedpigeon•1h ago
There's a set of features in the README that you can view if you follow the link:

- Integrated SSH and Telnet client and connection manager

- Integrated serial terminal

- Theming and color schemes

- Fully configurable shortcuts and multi-chord shortcuts

- Split panes

- Remembers your tabs

- PowerShell (and PS Core), WSL, Git-Bash, Cygwin, MSYS2, Cmder and CMD support

- Direct file transfer from/to SSH sessions via Zmodem

- Full Unicode support including double-width characters

- Doesn't choke on fast-flowing outputs

- Proper shell experience on Windows including tab completion (via Clink)

- Integrated encrypted container for SSH secrets and configuration

- SSH, SFTP and Telnet client available as a web app (also self-hosted).

- extra slowness
Mk2000•1h ago
If modern means slow, laggy and made with js then sure
OccamsMirror•1h ago
It does!

This is a rebrand of terminus

How does it compare to iterm2 or kitty?
thefz•1h ago
It's cross platform
akaike•1h ago
It's cool, but when I tested it last time, it was very, very laggy and very slow. Not sure if that's the definition of "modern".
BlindEyeHalo•1h ago
Considering all apps become more slow and laggy every year it seems on point.

Waiter waiter, more core applications using Electron!

Just needed these two reasons to not even try it out.

* Google Analytics on by default

* >100mb download

For a native terminal I'll happily use kitty or ghostty

For a SSH client Zoc (https://www.emtec.com/zoc/) hasn't disappointed me yet, and even then I almost just always ssh through my terminal.

ramon156•38m ago
Do people still use alacrity? It still feels like the most sane choice, although kitty and ghostty's rendering seems more robust. I guess I'll need to give them a go sometime
h4ch1•20m ago
Last I personally used Alacritty was 3-4 years back on Linux w/ wayland got some weird rendering bugs, switched to st (https://st.suckless.org/) for a good while.

When I got a Macbook last year, I did a "best terminal macos" search and evaluated multiple terminals; kitty, ghostty, iterm2 and wezterm.

settled on ghostty because it just felt faster for terminal refreshes when I use vite, had tabs, could easily theme it to use ayu-dark. Nothing too extreme, just personal reasons

iterm2 was fine as well, nothing special; wezterm and kitty just felt like linux apps that were on macos as well. YMMV.

k_bx•12m ago
Been driving my use for the last year or so, perfect as a thin wrapper around tmux (which is the same on macOS and Linux).

I'll give iTerm2 another try, has many shiny features like touchID-sudo and such, otherwise don't understand what could possibly be better in ghostty/kitty

exq•11m ago
I still do. It's faster than Kitty and Ghostty, and I don't make use of the extra features those provide. I don't use glyphs nor rendered images, and I use a tiling WM so tabs aren't that important to me. Alacritty does what I need it to, and does it well.
scabel•9m ago
I use alacritty. I tried ghostty but not supported on my old home mac, felt slower, and some of the config was not robust. Same with Wezterm, felt slow. Alacritty has worked with no problem everywhere I installed it. Only annoyance was once when the config changed from yaml to toml. Other than that, happy user of alacritty.

Happy alacritty user here (Wayland + sway)!

Apparently this has nothing to do with the other terminus [0]?

I've used it for a few years; can't complain really. Perhaps it's a bit slow, but I don't notice because I already use VSCode and IntelliJ and have enteprise tooling and Teams in my Mac, so if I were to run a piece of fast software it will probably feel jarring and seizure-inducing.
