In my experience Wez has been shockingly responsive to GitHub issues and usually fixes things (if they’re actually wrong) within a day or two. I’ve only found one or two minor quibbles involving modifier keys over SSH and overall the functionality is basically perfect for my needs. Plus it’s nice and fast.

(Former avid Alacritty user but needed better modifier support for remote emacs.)

I didn't have as positive experience. Granted I commented on a closed issue. In any case it was closed as "won't do" and my comment was ignored. I didn't feel like opening a new issue for the same that was already dismissed. https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/4706

Yeah Wez is limited by tmux behavior. If tmux breaks up one line into many, wezterm can’t undo that.

Wes is right about wezterm domains though. The native domains feature and pane support I think will meet the needs of most.

It's the same with no tmux. And it's fine with other terminals. See my comment in the issue.
