Raycast is great, I agree.

Warp... last time I tried it (very recently) it wanted me to log in before I could use it. Log in. To a terminal emulator.

Unforgivable

For me alacritty >> other terminal emulators on macos.

Not because it does have cool features, but because it is not as laggy [0] as the others and comes close to Terminal.app but supports 256colors

[0] i'm normally a linux user and use "foot" as my terminal emulator, and the terminal emulators there are so much more responsive than on macos/windows

Was a Wezterm diehard, Lua scripting so good, but I'll be damned if Alacritty has the lowest latency when using Neovim
I've wanted to try raycast but too lazy as I've already paid for Alfred. How does it compare? What about custom workflows? I have a bunch already created.
Alfred is ridiculously lightweight and well-optimized, too, which is something a lot of newer software struggles with.

$10/month for some of the things Alfred offers, perhaps not.
