Tabby
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Autodafe: "freeing your freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools."
> you need to "edit your makefile". That isn't going to work for distributions
Is it not? [st] requires exactly that. And distros seem to have no issues shipping it.

Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
I am fundamentally and ideologically opposed to using a terminal emulator implemented in electron.

You can use different forks of the ST. I, for example, use this one, already with the necessary patches https://github.com/mrdotx/st

Warp? A terminal behind login popup
My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different emulators, each offering its unique features (or similar however with each with personal touch), user interfaces, and performance benchmarks. Just the other day, a new terminal emulator caught my attention: Warp Terminal. My curiosity won, and Warp was downloaded, this short blog are my thoughts about Warp terminal. At the moment there is only support for macOS, however linux and windows builds are on the way.

XTerm: It's Better Than You Thought (2021)
For those looking for a minimal VT100 terminal emulator without the legacy baggage of Xterm, I highly recommend checking out Suckless Software’s st: https://st.suckless.org/

circles.nvim - v2.0.1
That last reference builds off of the work of the other two. It also breaks down how NOT modern Xterm is, but, if I've read it correctly, it confirms that its input latency is low compared to all other tested terminal emulators, including Alacritty and ST, which humorously and justifiably thrashes Xterm on its homepage for being a bloated program. Its not a good choice for everyone: it has poor right-to-left text and Unicode support, making working with Chinese, Arabic, and other alphabets not great, I've read.
- Are there any resources you would recommend for someone trying to make a terminal emulator in C and x11?

Which terminal do you usually use?
ST is a favorite of some fervent minimalists. I do not think you would like it.

Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
iTerm2 is a great terminal for macOS. I use it extensively every day. Despite that, I would gladly try out other terminals because it's fun and because I'm always open to finding something superior to even the great tools I use.
That said, there is exactly 1 feature that seems to only exist in iTerm2, and until another terminal emulator appears that has it, I'm staying put: tmux control mode.

What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
I've found Tabby does a good job and is Cross-Platform to you can use on Windows too. It can run any installed shell, serial connections and ssh. You can create profiles. It needs some work to be fully functional in Wayland i.e. Autohide feature doesn't work. But that's a graphical issue. Though, if you're just after creating and organising SSH profiles not terminal emulation, Remmina already has you covered. SSH, RDP and VNC.
What are some alternatives?
alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
Windows Terminal - The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
hyperterm - A terminal built on web technologies
tmux-powerline - ⚡️ A tmux plugin giving you a hackable status bar consisting of dynamic & beautiful looking powerline segments, written purely in bash.
oh-my-posh - The most customisable and low-latency cross platform/shell prompt renderer
termite - Termite is obsoleted by Alacritty. Termite was a keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager with tiling and/or tabbing support.
cmder - Lovely console emulator package for Windows
st-flexipatch - An st build with preprocessor directives to decide which patches to include during build time
Visual Studio Code - Visual Studio Code
libxft-bgra - A patched version of libxft that allows for colored emojis to be rendered in Suckless software (dmenu/st/whatever).
terminator - multiple GNOME terminals in one window
