Kitty is one of those programs you install because you read about some performance improvements and mature feature stack, then completely forget about it in the background. The ideal piece of software. It just works and does the job well enough to be invisible.
Likewise I had repeated issues with iTerm breaking or consuming tons of resources for no reason which I had zero interest in debugging.
Glad to recommend it to anyone else.
...At least on MacOS. On Linux I was very happy with Termite which fit my keyboard-centric linux style https://github.com/thestinger/termite
