I ssh from a mac into linux servers for my everyday work.

I went from tmux + vim TO (doom) emacs + tramp + projectile. I think I outgrew vim, and emacs EVIL gave me VIM but also magit and org and projectile. I tried to work in the emacs shell for a while. I realised I need tmux persistence still. Emacs shell also just doesn't do well with EVIL mode. So now I just do all development on emacs and manage runs etc through my tmux, occasionally still using vim on the tmux to manage config files when I don't want to load them into emacs because its a one off.

I dk about kitty, but I'm a fan of Kovid Goyal's calibre. I can't imagine how I would live without a. multiplexing b.persistence c.returning me to my context. And I never have had any tmux problems.
