I appreciate the fine work done by developers and testers, however I've been using gnome-terminal for around two decades and never perceived the input latency.

Like, I installed Alacritty some years ago side-by-side with gnome-terminal, and gosh, I could not visually sense any difference. Do I have bad sight?
- sidkshatriya 3y agoDepends on how much time you've spent in a terminal over the last two decades. Do you do software development in a terminal or an IDE ? If you develop in an IDE you don't "live" in a terminal and most likely it will not matter what terminal program you use and you won't notice latency.
- berkes 3y agoI live in my terminal. Very occasionally (once a week or less) do I open VS code or so. The rest of the 8+ hours a day I spend in vim, zsh and such. I don't perceive gnome-terminal as slow, or it's high latency. Alacritty did not show me any difference from gnome-terminal; other than that I needed to learn a lot of new stuff which I'm not going to do if there's no clear win. For me there was no clear win.
