I would say so, yes (not a fan of kitty's general NIH), but it could be argued that `xterm-kitty` is at least not identical to a $TERM used for xterm.

- spudlyo 2y agoIndeed. I was trying to humorously reference the author's staunch refusal to remove `xterm` from the TERM identifier, knowing full well that many programs simply look for `^xterm` when determining if the terminal is compatible. As you eluded to with 'NIH', the same author refused to implement Sixel in Kitty because it is "inferior" to Kitty's image implementation.
