Personally I have been using all 4 terminals, right now kitty fits my workflow the best, but things can change. Guess that all depends on if you need the function or not. The flashiest of these features definitely has to be Instant Replay, which allows you to rewind your terminal session and see what you just did. Alacritty is supposed to work well with tmux because after all that's what it's designed for, but it lacks some capability in tmux as summarised in the table. For the most part itll feel a lot like the Terminal app that comes with Mac OS X, but there are plenty of additional features that make it a better option. Kitty is also fast, but is not included in that benchmarking link. With GPU acceleration on, iTerm2's latency improves a lot, but you have to turn off font ligature, which is listed in my table. With GPU acceleration off, iTerm2's latency is so bad from my experience, similar to the benchmark. So in the link you provided, I'm not sure if the author opened GPU acceleration in iTerm2. Many knowledgeable people has done the latency benchmarking, that's why I stated I only compared the listed capabilities, which is minor but not much summarised so far. The Best Terminal Emulator for Mac OS X Terminal program is a utility few Mac owners would use regularly, it is usually buried in the depths of the OS. Thank you for the link! Yes that's what matters the most.
