- It looks good. Or more correctly, it is easy to make it look good. If one spends a lot of time in the Terminal emulator, it looking good has some positives.

- It uses plain text configuration that is easy to modify and version control.

Edit: - At least on Linux, foot's support for windows and tabs is limited to starting an entirely new process.

>>sdqali+(OP)
the edit is not true. footclient is, like, right there.

I use niri and footclient -N, so builtin window and tab completion don't appeal to be.

Foot feels fast, but I've not actually measured the latency. It also seems to use less CPU than GPU accelerated terminals (which it isn't) from just glancing at btop. So I'm not sold on GPU-acceleration as a feature unless I see benchmarks demonstrating the value in improved latency and reduced CPU use compared to foot

I love that foot's scrollback search, selection expansive, and copy can be entirely keyboard driven. Huge QoL feature for me that often seems neglected to me in other terminals.

I had never tried footclient. Thank you for the correction.
