Electron
Oh fuck off!
But it’s modern! That means it can be wasteful and no one cares.
Why yes, please add a ton of unnecessary weight and bugs to my terminal.
Who thought THAT was a good idea?
You use the terminal to escape the bloat of Electron in modern GUI applications
more evidence that “modern” just means “written in javascript”
What? No thank you.
Also, over 1400 open issues feels like a lot.
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
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 And that some issues, unfortunately, are not closed when they are outdated.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.
I really hate this trend of making absolutely everything a web view / Electron.
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
