I find this kind of interaction interesting having used both termite and alacritty. Honestly I would have never expected maintainers of what I perceived as a fairly popular terminal to just go, welp use the other guys. This is kind of neat.

I had already been using alacritty for a while because it had wayland support, even though it has some weird bugs on my current i3 setup where creating a new terminal just creates an unresponsive window that has to be killed through htop. Other than that it's been great, and there is something satisfying about cat /udev/random and the text that flies by with GPU acceleration.
