ocodoon Okay, I Like WezTerm

While I see nothing particularly egregious about Kitty's maintainer, other than being a bit of a dick, it's not really the job of a maintainer to be your pal.

Except, when I started using WezTerm at the start of this year... omg, this guy is absolutely fantastic.

I have read scores of his posts and he's struck the perfect tone in every single one. Love this guy, really, he's awesome.
