Thanks, I think I'd seen this one in the past but had ruled it out due to no Windows support (at the time).

Edit: Ah, also "doesn't have features such as tabs" ruled it out for me.

There are builds available for windows that seem to work: https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/28#issuecomment-37....

Using it at this point isn't viable however, since the Windows port uses rusttype for font rendering, and rusttype lacks support for hinting.

And like all these cool new *nix terminal projects, they seem to forget that a configuration GUI is worth having. Sure, you don't need it every day, but its really darn handy when you're first setting it up. The cycle of "Look at website, edit file, restart terminal, repeat, what are my font options again?" gets old really fast.

It's fast in the throughput sense. Typing latency is much worse than Terminal.app
