Kitty (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty) has been my go to for many years and with tmux it's fantastic.

I have heard a lot of great things about https://ghostty.org/ but haven't had a chance to check it out

edit: oops, I misread your question as "what alternatives are there"

My only issue with kitty and tmux is that I always have to copy over my terminfo files manually or else I get a 'xterm-kitty': unknown terminal type error.

I've done the same, but in case you didn't know Kitty can do that automatically (though it does a bit more that you may or may not want it to do)

Kitty is really the only superior editor beyond ghostty terminal iterm weztwrm alacritty foot and others and the only one worth recommending.

No it's not. The author smuggles opt-out telemetry and is suspiciously abrasive towards users pointing this out.

No, he’s not. Calling this telemetry is a stretch and that’s his style on everything he disagrees with (unfortunately).

It would be a stretch if it was opt-out, but as it is, every installation of Kitty phones home by default. That is the exact equivalent of telemetry.

His "style" compounds on that by making him seem untrustworthy.
