Well, perhaps “performant” isn’t the word you should be using. All code should be performant, where performant is defined as performing at an acceptable level. You might be tempted to then ask if it needs to be ultra high performance? That’s a better question but still off the mark. The correct question is whether YOU need an ultra high performance terminal emulator? If you don’t, you’re free to not use it. I haven’t found a need for it myself, for instance, and I still use the vanilla MacOS term. But that doesn’t mean someone else hasn’t wanted a faster term than the MacOS term and I wouldn’t throw shade on them for scratching that itch, even if I don’t share it.
