I'm missing WezTerm from that comparison image/slide posted in the article. Been using WezTerm for almost two years now I think, and I could not be happier. Best terminal emulator hands down.

I second this. WezTerm is very fast (much faster than anything libvterm-based), very featureful (comparable to Kitty), and very configurable (comparable to Vim, if not Emacs itself). Showing fonts the way I like (and not he way macOS defaults to): check. Sending complex key combos as custom sequences: check. Palettes, mouse support, system clipboard support: all check. Selection and search mode: check. Linux, MacOS, and even Windows support: all check!

I wish Ghostty all the luck, because the current state of terminal emulators is a pretty high bar to clear.

I've been using WezTerm for a while for the lack of a better alternative, but the current state of Wayland support in it is absolutely terrible. For example, I just changed my terminal font and I wasn't able to start WezTerm until I changed back to the previous font.
