Kitty and wez both have the ability to present graphics on the terminal which may sound like a solution in search of a problem, but once you start using the capability, it's hard to live without it.

Wez is also cross platform so I get to use it on my Linux and Mac and my (Ugh) Windows work machine. Configuration being done in Lua is also something I quite like, but your mileage may vary on that one.



I was using Wezterm because of the cross platform and the lua config (let's me reuse my mad lua skilz from keeping my nvim config).

The thing that made me switch to Ghostty was the image support in wez didn't play well with tmux.

After testing wez, kitty, and Ghostty, I ended up going with Ghostty.

I do miss the idea of the whole lua config thing, but since I never did anything with it, I can't treat that as a practical concern.


This is kinda mind-blowing when combined with yazi[0] for example. You can browse a directory with images or videos on your terminal and see previews of both.
