A terminal that uses Electron? Hah, no...not a chance. I'll stick with wezterm.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

foot terminal enjoyer
My main complaint with foot is that I have to copy the terminfo everywhere, but other than that it just works I guess
No way, a TNO reference
Tabby looks very good and straightforward but I'm more of a Nushell guy. Really love the user experience there.
I’ve been using Warp recently and really enjoy it.
Why would anybody use this over wezterm or alacritty?
Why should I use wezterm or alacritty and not Terminator?
The answer to your question and mine should be pretty much the same. Because everyone has different preferences and requirements.
I think you misunderstood. I want to know what requirements you have, that are not met with wezterm. I understand, that some people like different software, but this is a huge github repo for a terminal written with electron. Just confuses me
Tabby seems to get a lot of hate in the comments here, but I enjoy it for the following reasons:
- it looks consistently on all platforms
- it has a nice working sync of connection profiles (even of ssh keys...encrypted!)
- its opensource
Yes, it is built on electron-crappie, but for someone who jumps across different workstations with multiple hosts with their own configurations, tabby is very straightforward.
Could the sync be done with other means? Sure, but I won't bother since tabby offers that OOTB and I can get up and running in 5 minutes from a fresh install.

Sorry, but what on earth does this have to do with a terminal emulator? Something like this makes way more sense as a separate tool. It's like if I was making a decision of what video player to use because it can sync my browser bookmarks.
- So can qt, gtk and pretty much any gui toolkit
- Syncthing or git annex functionally the same
- So is every other terminal
Basically just wasting resources for no reason
