kitty is a fast, featureful, GPU based terminal emulator.
Highlights:
Offloads rendering to the GPU for lower system load and buttery smooth scrolling. Uses threaded rendering to minimize input latency
Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode, true-color, OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking, bracketed paste and several new terminal protocol extensions
Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different layouts without needing to use an extra program like tmux
Can be controlled from scripts or the shell prompt, even over SSH
Has a framework for Kittens, small terminal programs that can be used to extend kitty's functionality. For example, they are used for Unicode input, Hints and Side-by-side diff
Supports startup sessions which allow you to specify the window/tab layout, working directories and programs to run on startup
Cross-platform: kitty works on Linux and macOS, but because it uses only OpenGL for rendering, it should be trivial to port to other Unix-like platforms
Allows you to open the scrollback buffer in a separate window using arbitrary programs of your choice. This is useful for browsing the history comfortably in a pager or editor
Has multiple copy/paste buffers, like vim

Fix scrollback_indicator_opacity not actually controlling the opacity (#7557)
The developer is Kovid Goyal, developer of the remarkable Calibre application. -> https://kovidgoyal.net/ <- He's a hero of mine! (Even if he does *gag* like Ayn Rand and can't cook). If Kovid is 'codear' he's forgiven. Have a read through his website. He's a left-right brainer out to freely help the computer community and that's all right with me. I'm happy to support his work and try out 'kitty'.
the user codear has a visit count of 1, so this is a typical developer self comment.
can't say if its good, but how the settings are handled seems complicated.
excellent - cross platform, blazing fast terminal emulator with unique features, like unicode search, configuration terminal, gpu accelerated rendering, ligatures etc. if you frequently use terminal emulator and work on different operating systems - perfect choice.
