Mind you, the software we had 20 years ago was fully featured, smaller and faster than what we have today (orders of magnitude faster when adjusted for the increase in hardware speed).
Suckless, on the other hand, is impractical esthetic minimalism that removes "bloat" by removing the program. I'd rather run real software than an art project.
If you want more from your hardware, the answer is neither the usual bloatware, nor Suckless crippleware.
st is actually one of the worst terminals available. For all their purported minimalism, it has abysmally bad performance. See https://danluu.com/term-latency/
Huh, interesting. Never noticed. Might have something to do with pretty regularly using actual serial terminals. I don't know how the testing under Mac OS X affects it -- I only run it under Linux and OpenBSD, on OS X I just use the OS X terminal. Anyway, `st` does its job for me!
"Worst" for me is stuff that grabs keys it shouldn't, scrolling that doesn't work right with `screen` and/or `tmux`, etc.
