I’m reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

    I mostly use the default terminal emulator in the desktop environment I use, currently this is the gnome terminal.

    What are the main reasons one want to use another terminal emulator? IMHO if I can reszie the window and the font and font size is good or configurable it is fine…

      Refresh speed, font rendering, integrated features like multiplexing, theming…

      Some offer specific features like tabs/splits, or Quake-like drop-down. Others are just focusing on being fast to launch, or have performant rendering. Having barely any features can be a desirable feature in itself, depending on who you ask lol
