more evidence that “modern” just means “written in javascript”
What? No thank you.
Also, over 1400 open issues feels like a lot.
Issues on Github consist not only of bug reports, for example, but also of feature requests. If, for example, you only display issues with the label “Enhancement” at https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby, there are already over 300 of them. In addition, I have made the experience that often reported issues arise from Layer 8 problems. And that some issues, unfortunately, are not closed when they are outdated. Generally speaking and not related to this terminal emulator.
By the way, according to https://github.com/vim/vim/issues, the editor vim has over 1,300 issues. Also in this case, not all of them are actual problems that need to be fixed.
Sheesh, I thought it looked nice, but I think I’ll just stick to
gnome-terminal
.Yeah; if Gnome terminal had slightly better tab configuration it would be all the terminal I’d ever need, I think. Using it as an IDE (couple of Vim / YouCompleteMe tabs, a build tab, a unit test tab) is a bit of a finger twister to flip between.
Lol for the longest time I thought gnome shell terminal was the same as gnome terminal
I really hate this trend of making absolutely everything a web view / Electron.
Electron
Oh fuck off!
Why yes, please add a ton of unnecessary weight and bugs to my terminal.
But it’s modern! That means it can be wasteful and no one cares.
Who thought THAT was a good idea?
You use the terminal to escape the bloat of Electron in modern GUI applications
Why would anybody use this over wezterm or alacritty?
Why should I use wezterm or alacritty and not Terminator?
The answer to your question and mine should be pretty much the same. Because everyone has different preferences and requirements.
I think you misunderstood. I want to know what requirements you have, that are not met with wezterm. I understand, that some people like different software, but this is a huge github repo for a terminal written with electron. Just confuses me
