Fast is good but given that any terminal is fast enough to type commands and scroll around, convenient is even better. Example: I went with tilix months ago and eventually switched back to Gnome terminal because tilix froze sometimes. Furthermore tilix doesn't have a way to bind commands to a profile to run them when opening a terminal with that profile. The freeze is of course 99% of my switching back.

Never experienced any freezes with tilix and I use it daily for years now. It's abandonware though.

It's still GTK 3 using VTE and so doing the drawing with Cairo. It (VTE) has a lot of optimizations that made sense when we didn't have working GPU drivers.

But for GTK 4, we can do things much differently and faster.
