This excites me. I was excited to try a new terminal last week and I had to sign up. I wouldn't do that, so I went back to the default macOS one. I'll give Wave Term a try!

It's clear you have put a lot of thought into the product and its delivery after reading your message above -- it is noted and appreciated!

I find iTerm to be the standard among macOS developers.

Have been doing dev work on Apple platforms in some capacity or another for over a decade now, and though I’ve tried iTerm several times I always find myself coming back to the stock Terminal. Stock just feels smoother and less quirky somehow.

That said, my terminal usage is nowhere near as heavy as it is for some.

For me iTerm was definitely too slow, alacritty is IMO a bit faster. Also heard some good things about Kitty, but that has too many bells and whistles for me.

But nothing can beat foot [0]. But it's only for wayland, so I need to use alacritty on macOS.

Just in case you haven't tried it and want another option, Wezterm runs anywhere and does pretty much everything. But not AI/webapp stuff.
