> I think alacritty is better
Can I ask why? It starts slower (has a significant lag on old hardware), has way less useful features (like tabs), has the same responsiveness, and loses in benchmarks (for what they're worth). I see no reason to use it when kitty/ghostty/konsole/foot exist (depending on one's preferences), but people obviously do.
Reloading the config is great and it uses a lot less CPU than kitty on my system when the terminal is constantly being updated. Startup doesn't matter to me as I always have tons of terminals open.
It is written in a memory safe and date race safe language.
