While it's great to use other terminals and customize the terminal visuals to your liking, don't forget about the additional latency it adds; this is one of the main reasons I still use macOS' default Terminal.app



Perceived latency is why I stuck with Terminal over a decade ago. Since then, Terminal has gotten better. Maybe I should re-evaluate, but it's serving me well and I prefer using default applications where I can.


Was almost sold to Terminal.app then I saw:

> I’ve noticed that Terminal.app slows dramatically when outputting non-latin unicode ranges

Which is a deal breaker for me.
