I don't think I can do a better overview than https://ghostty.org/docs/about . It's not world-changing but simply a very polished, well-executed terminal.

GPU rendering virtually eliminates typing latency. Most terminals that have it don't support native content like tabs, but Ghostty gets minimal latency without having to compromise on essentials since it uses native toolkits under the hood.

The modern TTY has lots of protocol extensions that allow your CLI tools to do things like display high-resolution images. There's tons of good-quality color themes out-of-the-box (with a built-in browser for preview).

Configuration is highly customizable but the defaults are good enough that you barely need it.
