I tried kitty very briefly, but its startup speed feels very slow. As someone who prefers using my WM to manage multiple windows, a slow startup speed is absolutely killer for me.
Edit: I did some basic tests using slow motion recording on my phone, and this is how long I found it took a few terminal emulators to start: (Recorded in 240FPS)
- rxvt-unicode 33 frames
- kitty 298 frames
- lilyterm 20 frames
- sakura 55 frames
Alacritty apparently accepts input before it is able to display anything. It took 53 frames before it would take input, and 180 frames (total from startup) before it displayed anything.
