Not OP, but iTerm is the one I knew and it does it's job. No need to move away from something that works.

Why should an iTerm user switch to ghostty? What do they gain by moving away from a highly mature, feature rich, native offering?

Not the person you replied to, but I immediately switched back to iTerm2 after finding that Ghostty broke SSH to nearly all my servers by having an odd custom terminfo thing or something. iTerm2 requires no extra configuration after install on my end, whereas I needed to change several things about Ghostty and the UX for changing settings is terrible.

No ability to search the scroll back buffer. Stuck on the latest 1.2 release, there shall be no more, even though important bug fixes like memory leaks when using Claude are not backported. That’s a wild “go F yourself” decision. Ghostty crashed the other day for me, I have zero expectations that crash will be fixed for me until the 1.3 release. And when that release happens, the cycle of ridiculousness will restart. All the windows are gone when it crashes. I’m not ready to run Ghostty nightlies, last thing I need is the increased chance of crashing or bugs.

About to switch to native Terminal.app since it now supports truecolor. Or back to iTerm2.
