Okay, I Like WezTerm
I tried WezTerm on Windows because I was looking for a terminal with ligature support and lower input latency than Windows Terminal. Unfortunately, it still had higher input latency than cmd.exe. The only terminal with ligature support that comes close in terms of input latency is contour (https://contour-terminal.org/).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Another problem is that the cursor moves while the screen is buffer is being rendered. The location is only really known once the cursor settles in the same place for some time, which is unacceptable in terms of latency.
The synchronized output extension could be used to do this, though. https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/blob/master/docs...

Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator

This apparently does not support the Kitty graphics protocol, just Sixel, which makes it look fairly unattractive to me, personally.
