UnicodePlots
A few years ago, you had to recompile it to add sixel support on debian, so I provided https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-gnuplot
Now it's included by default IIRC

Forking Chrome to Render in a Terminal
sixel-tmux works literally anywhere you can use tmux: as long you can display unicodes on your terminal, the sixels will be "captured" by sixel-tmux and converted into something you can see. Sixels are in-band, so ssh isn't a problem.
In a way, using sixel-tmux is like "giving magical goggles" to your terminal, to let it render sixels so you can see something (even if it isn't perfect), in the hope you'll be tempted to use a better terminal that will show you sixels in all their glory, with a pixel perfect quality.
Sixels enable all kind of cool things, like gnuplot right in your terminal (cf https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-gnuplot ): sometimes I even watch youtube on my terminal lol
sixel-tmux was made as a first step towards turning derasterize into a more general library: my plan was to add it to nnn but I got bored along the way and moved to other stuff. I might still do that I I love nnn as a filemanager.
BTW, even if there have been quite a few interesting work by @hpa and others in the last 2 years, I think derasterize still has textmode supremacy. derasterize is a collab with @jart after I started adding features to her previous solutions which was based on half blocks like this solution; she's also made further work based on this like https://justine.lol/printimage.html and https://justine.lol/printvideo.html

WordPerfect for Unix (1992) used sixel graphics
That's also my main usecase: doing plots with gnuplot
A few years ago, it wasn't compiled by default in the debian packages so I released binaries: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-gnuplot

Why modern Linux console is slower than 10 years ago
I wish framebuffer consoles would support sixels to do without X or wayland, mostly to have inline plots line https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-gnuplot without having to use say fbi
> On the other hand, text output to the console has generally gotten slower, usually much slower than you would expect for the change in console size
I don't see why we should tolerate slow rendering of text. The techniques recently used to accelerate text rendering in Windows Terminal should be usable in the framebuffer console.

what terminal emulator would you recommend?
wezterm is pretty good, I've been using it for a long time without any issues. The feature set is honestly huge and I'm probably using 10% of the capabilities, but I like having a lot of options.

wezterm suddenly stopped working.
Had the same on hyprland with wezterm and there is already a bug report open for it: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/4483

Terminal emulators that break from the traditional rendering approach?
and my own humble entry in this space is wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm which has a decent population of users in Japan and a handful of arabic/RTL users for the unfinished bidi support.

Switching from Emacs. My experience
either Wezterm OR Window-terminal i Personally use WindowTERM with alacritty * when needed since WindowTerm has some weird ncurses issues ,
What are some alternatives?
feedgnuplot - Tool to plot realtime and stored data from the commandline, using gnuplot.
alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
itermplot - An awesome iTerm2 backend for Matplotlib, so you can plot directly in your terminal.
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
alacritty-sixel - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
zellij - A terminal workspace with batteries included
term-gfx - Terminal Graphics
Warp - Warp is a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster.
