Tilix vs Alacritty

In addition to tiling, Tilix supports placing separate sessions in tabs or switching from one to another through a sidebar.

The user can split terminals horizontally or vertically, according to their needs or preferences.

Tilix follows the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines and uses the UI patterns of this desktop environment.

Tiling and ability to type into multiple terminals simultaneously is Terminator's 2 most significant features. Tilix has them as well.

Many actions in Tilix can be triggered with configurable shortcuts.

Tilix follows GNOME HIG whereas gnome-terminal doesn't. GNOME should use Tilix as their default terminal.

Unlike the standard GNOME Terminal, Tilix supports configurable background transparency.

Tilix has that new GNOME look, with a HeaderBar. It can also be disabled.

Inside a session, you can select multiple terminals, which will receive the same input simultaneously.

The new 1.30 version of Tilix supports a quake mode enabling it to work as a drop-down terminal.

As fast as gnome-terminal, if not faster.

When running commands it feels snappier.

You can copy text from the terminal as HTML for embedding in web settings.

Great support for solarized color schemes, and no setup is involved.

Written in Rust with a philosophy focusing on speed and simplicity, Alacritty is one of the fastest terminal emulators out there.

Alacritty looks very slick on Linux, especially with GNOME or i3.

The configuration file is very well made and easy to use. You can fine tune your preferences to perfection in a matter of minutes.

Alacritty can be configured to adjust line spacing (height), letter spacing (width), and individual character horizontal/vertical positions.

It's simple and fast like xterm or urxvt but with truecolor support which is a big plus if you use a terminal based code editor. Basically Alacritty has all the features you need and nothing you don't (if you're using tmux for multiplexing).
