  • The installation is difficult if you're not used to Rust.
  • Doesn't support for ligatures so Fira Code with ligatures looks weird.
  • Awful docs
  • Difficult to keep updated

Kitty

Pros:

  • Built in python
  • Supports ligatures
  • Nice docs
  • Easy installation

Cons:

  • Vim bindings to move around and copy the buffer don't work well
  • When you sudo su on a server you need to copy the ~/.terminfo otherwise the shell is broken
  • You need to replace ssh so that they copy that file.

Wezterm

Pros:

  • Nice docs

Cons:

  • Dev is enough narcissistic enough to not only add it in the name of the terminal but also to say his name as the main developer.
