How well does it deal with copious amounts of text scrolling across the screen. It's been a while since I've used it, but IIRC Gnome Terminal had big issues with this for a long time (due to the underlying library that they were using).

Would you recommend this to a beginner? Hilariously I'm actually asking for a friend, I don't have a Mac.

This looks very well executed and really cool, but I'm honestly really tired of all the node/electron terminals. In its favor, this project looks a lot more clean and less opinionated than that 'Black Screen' monstrocity.

I haven't even looked at "Black Screen", but what makes it a monstrosity? It is just a piece of open source software, after all.

I'm curious why there's so much node/electron negativity circulating. (Although I guess asking for positivity when it comes to electron is a bit of a stretch :P)

I use two tools daily that are built on Electron and they are great. Not only that, but it's never obvious they run on Electron. I'm curious, what do you hate so much about it?

You guys just can't stop making cool stuff can you? now.sh, now-serve, micro.. I'm not the biggest Node fan, but these are really well done. Execution on these ideas has always been 10/10.
