The terminal that comes with macOS version ends on the 29th place in the results.

Yeah, I don't understand. I spend my day in the macOS terminal app and the thought "Hey I'd like a better terminal" has never occurred to me.

		Perhaps my needs are too pedestrian, but I don't believe I've ever needed anything more than what the macOS Terminal app is capable of. I've tried the vaunted iTerm2 and Ghostty among others but they never stuck.

		Maybe it's better now, but when I started my time on OSX, the built in terminal defaulted to "unlimited" scrollback, so if you were used to tailing giant log files, it would beachball pretty quick. I spent the rest of my time using iterm2 instead; it defaulted to a sensible scrollback length; and at some point it added a progress bar when you made a giant paste.

Yeah… Apple hasn't done much with Terminal.app since they inherited it from NeXT back in the late '90s.

FWIW, it did get Powerline support and 24-bit color in macOS 26.
