Just try it. I tried and the launch was so smooth that I'm keeping it a few days to test it. My current biggest problem is that I launch my terminal using the spotlight shortcut (⌘-space on mac) and while iterm2 is found when I search for term, ghostty isn't.

It took a minute for me, but it did find it. Something is off with macOS indexing. Any app that you install via brew takes a bit to show up.
I'm not complaining about the indexing (you can start the indexing by starting spotlight on and off). I'm complaining about having to search for "ghos..." instead of "term...". Because I don't don't like to remember the specific app name. But this complaint is the same for everything; when searching for Excel, I would like "Numbers" to also show up in the results. When looking for vscode I would like "Visual Studio code" to also show up, but I need to type either code, visual or studio.
Sounds like a feature request for spotlight to add aliases or tags. Personally I always keep a terminal open.
Huh, you've got me curious, and the Windows start menu does in fact launch Visual Studio Code when searching for "vscode." Color me pleasantly surprised!
