So why would someone who is extraordinarily comfortable using Windows Terminal make the switch?
No reason to make a switch.
At least we know there are options. There are
For me, I try them out and revise my choice accordingly.
My history of choices are Guake, Xfce terminal, konsole and Alacritty on Linux. Mac terminal, iTerm2, kitty and Alacritty on macOS.
Don’t forget wezterm
wezterm is the terminal users can configure with programming language. (Kitty also can be configured programmatically). It is way more than a terminal and has terminal multiplexing and tabs.
I once in a period where I was using wezterm, kitty and alacrity. I didn't choose wezterm because it uses too much memory for me.
One thing I really like is the ssh profiles. I particularly like being able to create ssh tunnels as part of the profile, so when you connect it auto create the tunnels for you
Thank you for sharing that.
