Why should I use Konsole instead of another terminal Emulator?

As in what are the differences? Or what does Konsole do better or different?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I love Konsole and all its features but the missing GPU acceleration is a blocker for me 😢 bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4

@phasslr @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is text rendering too slow though? I don't notice any difference between Konsole and Wezterm, which uses OpenGL, and I use neovim with tons of bells and whistles.

Maybe running a terminal benchmark would give us some data to discuss. I did it some time ago, but I can't find the results right now (I'm on a plane).

@codewiz @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I exclusively used Konsole for several months but after trying out Kitty I wasn't able to go back anymore. It is noticeable for me in neovim but really hard to pin down what makes it 'feel better'. Any suggestions for real-life-like benchmarks?
