I believe in an external world, where not everything is a matter of personal "priority", but certain things are objectively more significant than others.

And I might be wrong, but in that world, ligatures and transparent terminals are not really as important as rendering speed, latency, and/or less CPU load for a terminal emulator.

In fact, even where available, ligatures are a fringe option, adopted by very few people.

(I'm always talking about programming editors. Though even in print, their main domain, they're hardly mainstream these days).

I'm never bothered by iTerm2 being too slow or using too much CPU. Using transparency for my tmux profile makes it easier to tell whether the tab I've switched to is a local or remote session. Seeing coding ligatures makes me happy.

Why is the thing I don't notice objectively more important than my convenience and happiness?
