Personally I find it really useful for juggling interpreters between projects and keeping their state alive. There are CLI solutions for this, of course, but it's another set of commands to remember.

I'm not familiar with the z4h what does it offer over normal zsh?

Commonly used plugins preconfigured (I don't install my own anymore because it covers my bases) and the fastest possible plugin loading out of all zsh frameworks.

Except that Alacrity is not the system terminal.

Obviously I mean "the terminal application installed on your local host system where you develop".
It can never beat the system terminal+shell setup you pick yourself (for me Alacrity+z4h zsh distro). I can only see it as a nice-to-have for when you for some reason cannot install your own terminal. The UI-UX divergence from the system-wide shell setup will always be too wide and incur a learning-curve/feature gap.
