I also thought like that, but you only to set some defaults and you're ready to go. If you still prefer a GUI there are online generators. Nowdays you can also vibecode them, they are very simple and any LLM will do it right
If you have to see them, they aren’t defaults. It’s bad enough that Windows Terminal doesn’t expose its full configuration and forces you to edit the config by hand for more advanced stuff. Feels like a step backwards when something like iTerm 2 gives you access to all settings in a (admittedly kinda crappy) GUI. This also kinda begs the question why there’s not a /TUI/ configuration manager shipped…
Seriously, iTerm2's config GUI is so confusing and convoluted. I figured it out, but I always found it annoying trying to remember which menus to dig through to find that one setting I need.
There are mature emulators for decades now, why go backwards? I guess there are a few tiny features that might be useful, and am open to them. But a new project needs to be strictly better, not two steps forward, one step back.
Ghostty is getting there though, and today is a milestone, not complaining too loudly.
Because the old ones refuse to change or add New features. Which is fine, there are plenty of users who dislike chabge. However, it means you have to start a new project if you want to support most modern features.
