Linux Terminal Emulators Have the Potential of Being Much Faster
I favor kitty[0] and zutty[1].
Gnome terminal / libvte is and has always been slow, and alacritty might have good throughput, but sadly is high latency.

Latest Kitty terminal release features SRGB correct linear gamma blending
Why no love for Zutty (https://tomscii.sig7.se/zutty)? It's far more feature-complete than Kitty or Alacritty, without sacrificing much in way of performance or latency.

Can't start Alacritty on TW
Sorry for being offtopic. I came across an alternative to Alacritty recently: https://github.com/tomszilagyi/zutty

im using terminal to cd into a git folder and the terminal just closes. why?
5k lines of poorly organized C code with poor naming conventions, nasty macros and global state, that's not something you read and reason about, that's something you delete and rewrite. Compare st's code with zutty's, a project of similar size.

Kitty: The fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal emulator
Zutty is also cool: https://tomscii.sig7.se/zutty/
It's correct (like XTerm) while still being very fast.

Someone worked with Zutty (Terminal) and OpenBSD ?
I appreciate the suckless project and managed to build my own dwm/dmenu/surf/slock stuff, but was not able to configure st for my needs. Big drama, again and again. Yes i can build it (or take it from ports), i can patch it, but it never satisfied me (displaying fonts, scrolling issues - yes i know of 'scroll' and configured that - and so on.... ) I was spending countless hours, but in the end and for me - it does'nt feel well and i skip it - again. So i was looking for alternatives and stumbled over: https://github.com/tomszilagyi/zutty

Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Helix's modal editing is based on Kakoune's modal editing which is like an evolution to Vim's modal editing. You can think of it as being always in selection (visual) mode. https://github.com/mawww/kakoune?tab=readme-ov-file#selectio...

A tutorial for the Sam command language (1986) [pdf]
And while it doesn’t use the sam language precisely, I think in the broader “postfix Vi with visual feedback” category Kakoune[1] also warrants mentioning. The command language, in my experience, feels much more logical than that of Vis coming from a blank slate (things might be different if you come from Vim, but even when I used Vim regularly I never used the editing language that much exactly because I could never remember the damn thing).
And having mentioned Kakoune it’d probably be unfair to then not mention Helix[2]. It has a very similar editing language, but it’s a fairly anti-Unix everything-bolted-in affair on the inside (“everything works out of the box” being the advertising take) compared to Kakoune’s Acme-inspired no-scripting scripting (there’s an ex-style command to exec a user program that can then drive the editor over stdio RPC, a set of hooks, and that’s it). So if you’ve come for the Plan 9 feels, I don’t expect Helix to be that appealing. It’s still a good editor, nevertheless.

What is the best book for complete beginner?
You can take a look at kakoune. The source code (excluding documentations, test cases, customizations etc.) is less than 40k. It is, IMHO, a show case of a C++ project in use.

Yes.

Not very motivated for such a harsh critic..

Understanding the Origins and the Evolution of Vi and Vim
I've been using Vim for years, but if there was one thing I could change, it would be the verb-noun order. The Kakoune[1] editor behaves mostly like Vim, but where Vim has `dw` as "delete word", Kakoune has it backwards: `wd`.
It might sound minor, but by placing the range first, Kakoune can give a preview of what will be changed. The longer or more complicated the command, the more this feature shines.
Strictly better as far as I know. A shame my muscle memory, and all default installations, are still stuck with Vim.
