This is anyway a niche market on Linux - you can go really far with gnome/kde default terminals, and even slimmer ones like xterm/urxvt/st are more than enough

This is anyway a niche market on Linux - you can go really far with gnome/kde default terminals, and even slimmer ones like xterm/urxvt/st are more than enough to perform all the necessary tasks.
Perhaps, on Mac, you badly need an alternate terminal app , because the default one is unbearably slow.

- pxc 3y agoInput latency might be good with Terminal.app, but it really chugs when there's a lot of output scrolling on the screen, especially if you use a terminal multiplexer. The last time I 'lived' on macOS, I had to ditch Terminal.app within a day, just from having a few apps compiling and printing logs in a tmux window.
