I dropped those because they're magnitudes slower than urxvt. You managed to make a terminal emulator that's even worse?

Hey, I bet nobody will force you to use it or help develop it.

Not every tool fits everyone’s needs. Some tools might only be useful to a few people.

No need to be rude about it.

I don’t mean to spark a controversy, but that’s what happens when you use Electron.

LOL. I dropped Atom back to Vim the same reason.. electron apps are just too slow and memory-hogging compared to native apps.
