Analyzing the codebase of Caffeine: a high performance caching library
kitty is very close, which is impressive when you remember that the vast majority of the work is done by one guy (Kovid Goyal).

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.

iTerm2 Critical Security Fix
No it's not. The author smuggles opt-out telemetry and is suspiciously abrasive towards users pointing this out.

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:

The terminal I am currently using is st but I have also tested this "Vifm" enhancement in kitty and alacritty.
