I tried WezTerm recently but I unfortunately could not type backslashes on an ISO keyboard. There were other minor annoyances such as new tabs always opening on the last directory I was at and not my home directory (this was something that could be configured, but I never managed to do it). Ultimately, it was the problem with the backslashes that drove me back to iTerm.

Based on what? How do you know it's not riddled with major security bugs?

At least iTerm has been around for over a decade and loved by many hardcore power users.

Ghostty, Alacritty and Kitty are also very good options
