> A bloody terminal. Like the most basic feature...

Since when terminal is "the most basic feature"?

Reading threads in HN and seeing mild "wars" how Kitty/Alacritty/Ghostty/iTerm/Konsole/you-name-it are worse/better than Kitty/Alacritty/Ghostty/iTerm/Konsole/you-name-it, because they are slower/faster, (in)compatible with some ancient niche protocols/standards, etc.

Does not seem that basic to me?

Also it's personal preference, but I somehow used to have my editors and my terminals separate. I guess something about having a tool that does one thing best and all.

The fact that so many people are discussing their terminal just confirms the fact that a terminal is incredibly basic.
