Wow - you’ve certainly got a unique perspective on the situation, and I’m grateful that you took the time to share it. Thank you. It’s fascinating to hear from someone who actually worked with the guy.

I can relate to both the Linux struggle and your “I get their PoV but disagree” reaction. Had the same feeling when Kitty’s creator dismissed multiplexers as “a hack” - as a longtime tmux user, that stung. Great tool, but that philosophy never sat right with me. I bounced between most of the more popular terminals for years (Wezterm rocks but has performance issues, Kitty never felt quite right) so I was eager for Ghostty to drop. So far it’s delivered on what I was hoping for (despite needing a minor tweak or two out of the box).

I’m glad you found my last response so helpful. Sounds like exploring alternatives worked out well for you in the end, which is what matters. Cheers. :)
