I use the terminal that happens to be at hand, which is usually the one that ships with the OS, or the one in VSCode. I don't have high demands on the terminal, and I don't understand what problems are there to solve, as long as it handles unicode and control sequences correctly.

It turns out its not 1986 anymore, and sometimes we want to output gasp images to our terminals

We could already do that in 1986, outside UNIX.

Huh. I never knew that was a thing. Although sounds cool. Though if you do that, or take something like a ncurses UI, and start turning it into something nicer, at what point do you have something that's not a terminal?

But I guess there's promise in having something that's like a Jupyter notebook, but for files.

Yeah, I mean, a well-designed GUI is hard to beat, but for one-off tools/scripts, being able to dump images to the terminal is often really nice
