I tried to use alacritty in the past, but moved to wezterm eventually, because of it's superior customizability and features.

Wezterm gives you basic stuff like scrollbars that Alacritty refuses to do: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/775

I'm glad Alacritty is so conservative with adding features. There are plenty of options for "feature packed" terminals.

I use tmux for scrollback, panes, tabs, etc. So I'm happy there is an option for a barebones GPU terminal.

Did you experience any performance degradation when using alacritty + tmux vs alacritty alone?

same here. it's been around 2 years since I moved to wezterm. pretty happy with it.
