There are several really good terminals for macOS: ...Kitty terminal...

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Terminal app for macOS

WORKED

Personally kitty is the only one I keep coming back too. Mostly because it's very customisable, fast, lean, ligatures, separate font for italics, great macro support, and supports automatic tiling panes.

FAILED

I rejected Kitty: it has a ton of Python in it, which is usually indicative of software which is going to be a pain in the ass.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Terminal emulator, considered but rejected

WORKED

I run elisp functions on org-babel-tangle-finished-hook, one of them would force Kitty to generate config template, then grab the values from my config.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Configuring their terminal, merging only the key-value pairs they modify with Kitty's self-documented template.
