> Ghostty is […] feature-rich […] uses platform-native UI
What goes through the head of a developer when writing such blatant lies in the introduction text? What does he think he accomplishes by doing so? Is he so deluded that he thinks behaviour like this is somehow socially acceptable and the readers just nod along and no one is going notice and criticise him for that? Really, it's like the mind of children in an adult body, no concept of reputational damage.
I just installed Ghostty and cannot help but conclude that the claims are wrong, abundantly so. Compare it with the incumbent Konsole. It is clear to anyone to see that Ghostty has about 0.3% of its features. If I were to enumerate everything that's missing, I would not be able to stop until tomorrow.
It suffices to point out that there is no menu bar, no icon toolbar, no l10n, no settings dialogue, no key-bindings dialogue, no scrollbar, no search, and it would go on and on and on. The sad thing is, if the developer actually used the platform-native UI like he claims, then he would instantly get the first five without lifting a finger!
