it makes you sad that different people do things differently from you?
No, it makes me sad that I wish more people learned about how awesome kde is.
I'd love to use Wayland all the time, and we are almost there, but just so many quirks everywhere (especially with outdated Electron apps).
Some Electron-based things and Steam are the main holdouts I've noticed.
I suspect the Electron things at-large will be sorted out before Steam... they simply need to rebase while Valve has to modernize their libraries (ie: vgui)
As someone who has dabbled in terminal emulation (I was the maintainer of Console Telnet for Win32 twenty years ago), I have respect for someone who takes the time to optimize a terminal emulator by building a fast parser and being careful with screen updates. That used to be the only way to make a graphical program fast, but these days hardware is so fast you can render an entire scene before the next screen refresh…
GNOME terminal works and looks pleasant to boot. In fact it works so well that I almost never think of it although I use it all the time.

That makes me sad :/ Though now that you mention it, I recall running Tilix back when I used to run gnome. It’s been quite a few years.

I used KDE and absolutely loathed it. Admittedly this was fifteen years ago, but I was blown away by the developers’ inability to make any actual design decisions, instead punting literally everything to a mountain of configuration options. Case in point, the taskbar system clock. There were no fewer than six full tabs of options to customize its behavior, including the ability to use Swatch Internet Time. Everything…
Kids today will never know the awesomeness and terribleness of Swatch Internet Time. I remember when they gave a bunch of money to CNN and for a brief period the time listed on articles was Swatch Internet Time. Late 90s and early 2000s were strange.

KDE 3 and 4 were a dumpster fire. Even the first release of Plasma was very rough. But I switched to KDE maybe 5 years ago and never really looked back. If your experience with KDE is from 15 years, give it a shot with an open mind. It’s pretty great imo
Been using `foot` for a year plus at this point. No issues, works great, very happy!
Same here works well, but I am eyeing others for image support at some point.
It's minimalistic but it supports animated gifs?
This is also really useful. I use it in Offpunk to display pictures when browsing the web.

Really, KDE just has a maximalist philosophy. Shove everything into users' faces all at once because of all possible opinion variations.
Part of why I like GNOME is that it's the exact opposite: minimalism. The options it does offer tend to be the options you actually might want to tweak, and there's not many of them. (In the GUI anyway; GNOME still has lots of options available via dconf-editor/gsettings, basically the GNOME equivalent of the Windows Registry)
