    All right, I downloaded it and it seems ok from a few quick commands. A bit of a delay executing a custom function to print syntax-highlighted text from a file, but not terrible. I’ll continue test-driving when I’m downloading youtube videos later.

    Download link.

      May be because it is written using web-based technology (AFAIR, typescript).

        I figured it’d be something like that to build across platforms. The size of the download was another clue.

    So why would someone who is extraordinarily comfortable using Windows Terminal make the switch?

      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.

          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.

      One thing I really like is the ssh profiles. I particularly like being able to create ssh tunnels as part of the profile, so when you connect it auto create the tunnels for you
