native Terminal.app doesn't have true color support (24 bit colors). I was happy using it but wanted to try some fancy vim themes.
I stopped using iterm after it did the chatgpt integration, which was a bridge too far for my tastes and landed on wezterm. All of the alternatives have nits.
- xyst 2y agoSame. I switched to Alacritty and later Ghostty.
- azinman2 2y agoI just have been trying ghostty recently - the biggest usability issue I’ve immediately run into is a lack of cmd-f to search text (as far as I can tell) —— I’m having to copy everything into a text editor then search. I never realized how often I used that it until I lacked it.
- jamesgeck0 2y agoIt's dumb, but Terminal.app is about eight years behind every other macOS terminal in supporting true color mode. Feels like sort of a table stakes feature in a modern terminal, and makes me suspect Terminal.app is not a high priority for Apple. The people want pretty editor themes!
- oefrha 2y agoIt’s abandonware at this point. Even Windows Terminal is better now which is just embarrassing.
