Don’t take this as zinging alacrity as unusual or whatever. I mean, I don’t care about tabs, for example, because I do “tabs” inside the terminal, using tmux, so I’m fine using something like urxvt, foot, or alacrity, but many people don’t, and care a bunch about having multiple tabs in a virtual terminal program. Time to open terminals, which I care about, may not matter much if you launch them with the mouse instead of whacking a key combination – by the time your fingers get back to the keyboard, the terminal is probably up.
Most virtual terminal programs work more-or-less the same way, outside something exotic like cool-retro-term, and you’ll be fine with choosing any of them.
Yeah I didn’t read it as a negative at all, but thanks for explaining anyway. Never got to the point of seriously trying tmux yet, but I will eventually. I understand it does more than just “tabs in your terminal”.
