so the built-in macOS terminal emulator lacks truecolor, are folks using iTerm2 still nowadays? or did something better come out?
follow-up question: why is no one using wezterm? And where are the kitty users hiding, I know they exist
@fasterthanlime kitty on Mac and linux all day everyday.
@fasterthanlime I'm using it. I think it's kind of neat. I do wonder if the lua config might be a turn off for folks.
@ladytel @fasterthanlime lua config certainly wasn't a turn off for neovim users do who knows, if it's extensible enough to warrant the use of lua it could be great
@fasterthanlime I use WezTerm. It's amazing. I enjoy it so much. Windows, Mac, Linux the terminal that works! Simple config. The WezTerm and Helix combination is my absolute jam right now.
@fasterthanlime I used to use Kitty... I prefer WezTerm right now. It's like Alacritty, but with *FEATURES*.

@fasterthanlime Wezterm on linux here, the killer features for me are Panes and Tabs like Kitty, but also an SSH multiplexer:

`wezterm ssh [COMMAND]` opens a terminal where every pane/window is an ssh connection, only issue is that it doesn't support the whole ssh protocol (`ForwardAgent` was not working last time I checked).

I have an irrational dislike for YAML, but otherwise I'd be using Alacritty

@fasterthanlime Using WezTerm, but on Windows.
@fasterthanlime kitty user reporting in. It's a delight

@fasterthanlime WezTerm user right here! And used kitty as my driver before that (still do, a little - it's also great). WezTerm is still a little raw compared to kitty wrt stability and a couple of missing features, but it has other features kitty lacks, and I love the choice of lua for config (both for itself and because I can use fennel!)

Was a little skeptical of the multiplexing at first, but now I love it, and I don't have much conflict since I only use tmux when persisting a session

@fasterthanlime I switched to Kitty recently and I’m very happy with it. I can totally recommend.
@fasterthanlime I was a full kitty user, until I found out about Westerm. It's (as far as I know) the only terminal that is GPU accelerated, fully cross platform (even Windows), and supports ligatures and symbol replacements. Plus it supports all the extended protocols from Kitty and iTerm2, so it really just does everything. Also helps that Wez is generally really pleasant and responsive to issues on GitHub
@fasterthanlime I used kitty on MacOS. I feel like it has lower latency than Alacritty and it has tabs.
@th @fasterthanlime i went from kitty to alacritty because it alacritty feelt more reconsive to me :D all the possibilities of kitty stressed me out because i tried to lern all the shortcuts and got confused between differend OS and keyboard-layouts (apple and not apple). Alacritty is much more chill... Cant say i don't miss those tabs 
@fasterthanlime I like wezterm. I also kind of like alacritty except for the fact that it doesn’t support splits/tabs, which I’d like.
@fasterthanlime I use kitty, but something is weird when I SSH into machines and backspace doesn’t work right.

@fasterthanlime Been using WezTerm for some time, it's great!

I do wish there was a Fedora repo for updates, though 😅

@fasterthanlime it's because I'm lazy and alacritty is easier to build/install via cargo.
@fasterthanlime what's nice about Wez?
@zkat @fasterthanlime it’s made by @wez who is extremely nice :) (has been a mentor of mine a looooong time ago)

@fasterthanlime weztern user here. I used to use kitty but I like the command pane and the copy feature more.

Also the new kitty keyboard protocol (allows you to use ctrl/alt and send it to programs) are only supported by wez, kitty, and foot afaik

@fasterthanlime Wezterm is awesome! I use it on Linux, Windows, & Mac.
