It's actually very ready for everyday use, even for a 0.1 release. It's the best terminal I've used so far on windows and Linux.

  It doesn't even have tab support.

    It's meant to be used with WMs that can handle tabs (i3, sway, xmonad, ...) As a terminal, it is blazingly fast and scale well with hdpi screens, without all the feature creep, in short, it suckless.

      'kitty' term user here, and I use the heck out of kitty's tab and split controls, even with i3 (and even in the presence of tmux).

      "It's meant to be used with..." You lost me right there. I don't care how Alacritty wants the world to work. I care how I want things to work.

        Then it's not meant for you then. Products have use cases that are not necessarily your use cases. With tmux, alacritty is great and doesn't need tabs.

        If it is a niche application and not a general purpose application for the masses, then state that up front. Stop marketing for the masses.

Do you not use italics or strikethrough, then? Or scrolling regions? (Full-screen TUI programs rely upon setting scrolling regions to significantly speed up pane scrolls, so don't start by saying that you never use them.) You are not the first person to go overboard calling it the best terminal ever. It clearly is not, yet. The developers themselves acknowledge that there's a way to go, yet, and maintain to-do lists of the many things that it as yet lacks. It does make me wonder, when it has simple deficiencies compared to the likes of XTerm, how seriously the people who claim "best terminal ever" have actually exercised any of these programs.

  Italics/strikethrough and TUI programs aren't in my use case at all. I'm on windows I'm using my terminal for my shell and not for UI programs. > It's the best terminal I've used so far on windows and Linux. Again its the best that I'VE used for MY use cases.
