Some people feel that Terminology has too many features that are not suited for a terminal but for a window manager instead. Things like viewing thumbnails, watching videos and gifs and other flashy things like that feel just like eye candy and should not be part of a terminal emulator. See More
It uses xclip for copy paste on linux, makes it useless on wayland. See More
Eschews a negative developmental philosophy towards including said functionality, with the official reason cited in project documentation as "Not within the realm of a terminal emulator" and ostensibly, "best left up to other tools such as terminal multiplexers" [such as screen or tmux]. Which is unfortunate when you factor in speed against terminal with the functionality built in vs their reliance on 3rd party tools: tmux on alacritty: 'find /usr' time: 3.234s, cpu: 72% tmux on konsole: find /usr' time: 1.777s, cpu: 96% See issue here.

Silently fails to even start on my Gentoo Linux system using wayfire/wayland instead of X11. See More
Failed to start for me on wayfire/wayland using a Raspberry Pi 4. Maybe this needs a more full OpenGL implementation than what the RPi4 has? $ kitty [189 19:14:48.541081] [glfw error 65543]: EGL: Failed to create context: Arguments are inconsistent [189 19:14:48.555247] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/../lib64/kitty/kitty/main.py", line 336, in main main() File "/usr/bin/../lib64/kitty/kitty/main.py", line 329, in main run_app(opts, cli_opts, bad_lines) File "/usr/bin/../lib64/kitty/kitty/main.py", line 176, in __call _run_app(opts, args, bad_lines) File "/usr/bin/../lib64/kitty/kitty/main.py", line 149, in _run_app window_id = create_os_window( ValueError: Failed to create GLFWwindow See More
It's keyboard shortcuts seem to have been designed to not to conflict with vim's keyboard shortcuts. This way, I can program in one tab, tab right, compile, scroll up for errors, and then tab back left, without ever having to touch the mouse. A perfect compliment to vim's philosophy of fast editing/coding. See More
Most terminals in Linux don't support font ligature, while many modern fonts such as PragmataPro or Fira Code already have decent coverage of font ligature. Support for font ligature makes user experience and font management much easier (i.e. you don't need to keep two copies of the same font just to use in the console). See More
Only supports GTK2 for non-native (i.e. XWayland) experience. See More
