I've been using kitty for the last few months, and I liked it, it allows me to view images in neovim, and that's basically the reason why I switched to kitty from alacritty, because in alacritty I couldn't see images. I don't like all the extra stuff that kitty has, because personally, I think that a terminal emulator should be just that, a terminal emulator, I don't like having extra features, but that's because I use tmux, and tmux provides me all the functionality that I need, including tmux windows that are like tabs, and tmux sessions, which is by far my favorite thing about tmux

Everyone in the comments for multiple videos had been telling me to try WezTerm, but I was happy with kitty, and I had the wrong idea, that you couldn't view images in neovim when using WezTerm, but I was wrong, you can view images, and basically do everything that you can in kitty.

One thing that I prefer from Kitty is that scrolling feels smother compared to wezterm I'm not sure if I'm the only one, or if its something with my config, but let me know down in the comments. Wezterm is written in rust, so I thought it was going to be really smooth, similar to neovide which is a neovim gui written in rust

Originally, I started with iTerm and I used that for years before switching to Alacritty Let me know what your favorite terminal emulator is in the comments
