Why should an iTerm user switch to ghostty? What do they gain by moving away from a highly mature, feature rich, native offering?

iTerm is slow as fuck. cat large files in iTerm vs Ghostty and you will see the difference. Ghostty always stays responsive, and has much lower memory usage. The typing latency on Ghostty is so low it really enriches the terminal experience. People still using stuff like iTerm2 are likely just either not using their terminal very often or are ignorant to the wider terminal emulator market.
