That said, it’s not perfect. For example it lacks font ligature support, and there appears to be no prospect of that being implemented. I don’t care about ligatures that much anyway, so no big deal for me, but for others it is.

My experience using terminal emulators is that they are all flawed in at least one way. Whether it’s lack of true colour support; lack of ligature support; weird text rendering; weird colours; confusing configuration; etc. I feel like a terminal supporting all of those things must be possible, but I haven’t come across it yet.
