Foot is Linux only and lightweight, take it as a Wayland version of Xterm with good defaults and almost no emulation options. The rest works in all major OS. Alacrity is all about GPU rendering speed at the cost of everything else (at some point it did not have scrollbars/history). Kitty and Wezterm are packed with features and more difficult to differentiate. They are all good though.

There still are no scrollbars in Alacritty: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/775

Use Wezterm is you want a modern rust based terminal with basic nice stuff like scrollbars.

+1 for WezTerm.

Excellent documentation, fast and pretty much all the bells and whistles you could want in a modern terminal.

Another +1 for Wezterm. I also tried Alacritty in past, but felt it too basic. Kitty was better. TBH, not sure why I left that for Wezterm. But for now, I've settled and have no intention to change.

FWIW I use Wezterm with Zellij

Surprisingly in some tests [1], foot was rendering faster than alacritty for me (Wayland, Nvidia GPU)

Not sure if you don't consider Windows a major OS, but Kitty doesn't work there.

I actually use it in Windows (WSL2) but good point it does not work natively (so no Powershell/CMD).
