Iterm or Warp because I don't know any other.

alacrity - fast boi

warp. because it’s better than kitty

st with kitty graphics patch, because is dead simple and highly customizable.

Alacritty + zellij, but I'm dabbling with ghostty.

Alacritty is fast and stable. zellij is a better tmux in my usage. ghostty is new and intriguing, but doesn't yet have the features needed for me to drop zellij.

Ptyxis

Have been using Ghostty for some time, quite happy with it. Used iTerm before. iTerm seem to interact better with emacs on the terminal, but I switched back to the gui version.

Terminator for the simple screen splitting

MobaXTerm cause it has tabs and was the first thing I found and did everything I needed

iTerm2, because I'm on a Mac, so what else?

Alacritty. Previously used urxvt. Love the ability to select and copy text to the primary selection or clipboard with the keyboard, it's a must for me.

VT52 😁

(real programmers know what is this...)

iTerm2 and Oh My Zsh

Ghostty + starship

alacritty, tmux'd

ghostty. fast, easy/sane config, gets out of the way. just works.

iTerm

It just works for me

Xfce and Putty

Why?

It works 😸

Kitty term. Multiple easily navigating tabs. It can read links and open the browser with few strokes.

urxvt + tmux (not only for terminal multiplexing but also because I'm always sshing somewhere and want my sessions to be persistent)

zsh

Foot, because it's lightweight

I used to use iterm, but before I knew it, I had settled on vs code. Vertical integration is "high convenient".

Just switched from Alacritty to Ghostty, basically cause I saw an interview with Ghostty's creator, heard how it's a passion project, and wanted to give it a try. I use TMUX with it though, so the experience is kind of the same. Integrates a bit better with the OS.

https://warp.dev . Loving it. Before that I used to use iTerm2

Terminal on GrapheneOS. Because it's the most secure way to virtualize Linux

Ghostty, very fast with great defaults

Warp is peak fiat world, you have (had ?) to log in to use it
