Why are you waiting? I’m already using Alacritty.

  Not the person you're responding to, but when I tried it early this year Alacritty used more CPU and memory than gnome-terminal, and felt less responsive. It was also somewhat glitchy with my usual tmux+text editor configuration. VTE has been around since at least 2002, and in that time it's received a great deal of attention. While I'm always interested in new terminal emulators, catching up to VTE is going to take an awful lot of work.

    There was an issue earlier this year caused immense slow down on Linux that is already fixed. You may try it again now.

      Indeed? I may try it again. I've also been fairly impressed with kitty (not the MinTTY based kitty, the other one), which also uses the GPU, and is written in Python of all languages.
