In what terminals is rendering slow? I really think GPU acceleration for terminals (as seen in Ghostty) is silly. It's a terminal.

Edit: I can't post anymore today apparently because of dang. If you post a comment about a bad terminal at least tell us about the rendering issues.

VSCode (xterm.js) is one of the worst, but there's a large long tail of slow terminals out there.

Not really using VS Code terminal anymore, just Ubuntu terminal but the biggest problem I have is that at some point Claude just eats up all memory and session crashes. I know it's not really Claude's fault but damn it's annoying.

As someone who's business is run through a terminal, not everyone uses ghostty, even though they should. Remember, that they don't have a windows version.

Not everyone has the massive GPUs required by run Ghostty.
