Cons
Con Very unique support issue with SSH
Kitty has SSH compatibility issues no other terminal I know of has.
For every server Kitty NEEDS ncurses and python to be installed on that server or use a hack command in order for it to function.
Kitty SSH, because kitty can not run on regular SSH, does not function otherwise.
Con No centralized configuration
Each session holds its own configuration of all features. This means that if one wants to change a configuration common to all sessions (say, the terminal font), it has to be changed in each stored session separately.
A better solution would be to have a default configuration and store only the changed elements for each session (both configurations would be merged, with e priority on the specific one).
Con Some keys are not accepted
LANG1(a.k.a. Hangul) key simply doesn't work. For example, when using kinesis savant 2 footswitch for modifier keys, the ctrl key doesn't work either. (Weirdly, the shift key works).

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con No Wayland support
It only works decently on the Sway window manager. It refuses to start with Wayland on Gnome.
