For me:

- easy to customise using a simple, easy to understand config

- supports non-native full screen so I don’t need to wait for the virtual desktop transition animation on Mac to finish…

- has a friendly community

- it’s a good model for building sustainable products/tools

and, with all of the above: it doesn’t feel like a compromise

It’s just faster when you accidentally dump large amount of text or binary onto the Terminal. You can measure this by running `time cat` on a multi-gigabyte file and observing the wall clock time.

One personal gripe: Compared to the default terminal, ghostty, close the terminal on ctrl+d.

Against Mac's terminal I'd recommend ghostty. Just the support for more characters and better defaults are a good reason.

Yet, I use WezTerm, won't be switching soon.
