It would amazing if iTerm used the Ghostty library (libghostty) for the core terminal functionality; then the developer could focus on UI/UX. iTerm has tons of useful features, but a lot of them are buried in the UI.

The theme picker in Ghostty is above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen in a terminal.

Just a reminder you can keep using your Affinity V2 apps. They run just fine on macOS 26. The real concern… will our V2 apps run on macOS 27 or macOS 28? I know no new features will be added to V2—what about bug fixes and security updates?

Gotta give a shoutout regarding Ghostty [1]. I keep switching terminal apps; I'm on an iTerm2 kick right now… but I used Ghostty for a while and it's pretty damn cool. Anecdotally, it feels the fastest to me. Also GPU-accelerated
