Seconded. I keep hearing about ghostty but I have yet to see a strong enough justification about how it is _that_ better. I use konsole and has significantly more user friendly screen to manage settings. I heard about ghostty's performance so I did some timing tests and ghostty was faster than konsole but not that much - not in any perceptibly significant measurable sense.

I went from Alacritty to Ghostty for ligatures and some other small goodies. I could probably get those same goodies with Kitty, but I didn't want to try nor have the desire to try. I may go back to Alacritty if I grow tired of Ghostty.

I've always found ligatures (fi, ff, ffi etc) really ugly. Or are you talking about using them for hacked purposes (-> in C)?

Then again I don't put different foods on my fork when eating - which seems relevant.

		`==`, `===`, `->`, `-->` are more pleasant to read with ligatures on. It's silly, but nice.

I never got the speed thing. Ghostty at least seems slower on my machine compared to foot(client).

		I tested kitty, foot, and ghostty on my machine when picking a terminal and ghostty was the slowest of the 3. I'm using kitty now. YMMV because this is just one data point (but the most important data point for me)
