From iTerm To WezTerm
In recent years, new terminal emulators have appeared. I tried using them mainly for testing macmon. A couple of years ago, I tried switching to kitty, which was faster due to GPU acceleration. However, it required too much customization and still looked very non-native for macOS. GPU acceleration was added to iTerm as well, so I stayed with it.

Déjà vu: Ghostly CVEs in my terminal title
It's not just Kitty graphics, the Kitty Keyboard Protocol is a DOS waiting to happen, and Goyal with his customary charm is very hostile to the idea of correcting his mistake: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/7749
This isn't the only problem with KKB, it must be deprecated and replaced.

Warp terminal – no more login required
For those that have to bounce between Mac and Linux for work/personal reasons, I cannot recommend Kitty terminal enough.
The main thing that's a big of a pain is you'll probably want to set up a scrollback pager (I use neovim as mine but vim works too) so you easily search the terminal output and copy/paste from it.
I use
# https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/719#issuecomment-...
scrollback_pager nvim -u ~/.config/kitty/kitty-scrollback-pager.vimrc -c "silent write! /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer | te cat /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer -"
and the scrollback pager vimrc:

Preview images, videos, fonts, PDFs ... in Vifm.
The terminal I am currently using is st but I have also tested this "Vifm" enhancement in kitty and alacritty.
