It’s interesting how singularly passionate you are about Kitty, with almost all of your comments for the last year (or longer) being about Kitty.

Don’t you have something more interesting to do with your time than to find opportunities to say: nah Kitty is better ;)

I was just finding something to be impressed about, considering it has only just gone public and open source (as opposed to a mature project with established GitHub presence and flow of contributions).

FYI: aumerle is kitty's maintainer.

i don't know why he is talking about the project as if unaffiliated.

Yup kitty revolutionized my terminal experience, hence the passion. I am sorry but since you seem to be passionate enough about ghostty to try to shill it in a article about a security vulnerability in it, I don't think you have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about my posts.

If you want to claim that ghostty is developed very rapidly it behoves you to do a little research and compare it against its peers before making that claim.

Kitty is a great terminal and Kovid does excellent work. I have a ton of respect for him. Ghostty (disclaimer: I’m the creator) could also be and I appreciate anyone who thinks so. There doesn’t have to be a winner/loser mentality!

The big picture is to get more people to use the terminal more for cases it’s good for. Infighting amongst people who already like terminals is counter productive, in my opinion.

it's good practice to note when you're the maintainer :)

still if you insist on direct comparison, ghostty addressed 5x as many issues in half the time

Actually usable now, or still entirely insecure?
