What do the exclamation points mean?
Yeah, I’d say Kitty and Alacritty work pretty well on Linux. Makes this comparison table seem like bs
Kitty on macos is absolutely fine too
That the guy making the table is pulling things out of their arse, basically.

It was discussed in details in his presentation (the link is in the article).
Kitty is mentioned once in the article and that’s it. Doesn’t even mention its downside and how ghostty is so much better according to them.
It’s a great project and all, but I’d love if people could stop stomping on others work just to appear better.
Mitchell’s talk has some proof
Only says it’s fast on some specific benchmarks against alacrity. Not talking about why alacrity or kitty would not work on Linux/mac while ghostty does.
Sure, it’s interesting that he managed to optimize so many things. But the claims in the picture are unproven.
✅ but I can’t give the competitors too many ✅ so let’s go with ⚠️
I use alacritty on Linux every day, hell I didn’t even realize it ran under Windows
Weird table. I use Foot which is pretty fucking fast and does everything I need except panes so I might check this one out.
Damn. Alacritty has no features?
