I don't want to speak uncharitably of Alacritty, which was my daily driver for a couple years. It's FOSS, the developers don't owe me/us anything, etc. And I never contributed (though I tried once or twice and was summarily rejected).
It's better to focus on the positives of other projects. I will say, on a more specific note, that if you use macOS and have been frustrated with certain longstanding issues in Alacritty, you're in for a pleasant surprise with WezTerm.

- theobeers 5y agoSupport for macOS is not poor—though it could go that way eventually. It would be more accurate to say that Alacritty qua macOS software is now almost unmaintained. If you encounter a problem, don't hold your breath; deal with it in your own fork. (I did this for many months.)
