"Good performance and stable terminal"
What do you like best about Alacritty?

alacritty is the fastest terminal I have ever used there are many best features alacritty provides there are some of the features I like most:

1. scrolling: scrolling on the alacritty terminal can be done directly through the mouse no additional key needs to press like vim

2. The color of the terminal was best

3. opening link: In alacrity, if we need to open a link we can directly click and it will get open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alacritty?

I like most of the features of the alacritty, but there are sometimes while changing the configuration of alacritty for any typo it breaks the whole terminal, and it will get crash, and It doesn’t support the feature of split and tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best terminal emulator out there"
What do you like best about Alacritty?

Alacritty is a terminal emulator. It's a terminal emulator which was published in 2017 - which might seem a bit silly - but it offers features like GPU acceleration, serious customization and cross-platform support which are still unmatched.

It's fast. Alacritty's speed is unmatched. Compared to the macOS terminal, which I use daily, Alacritty is at least five times as fast. And thanks to the extensive customization, you can make it feel like the stock terminal.

Best of all, it's released under the Apache software license - which means it's open-source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alacritty?

Honestly - for someone who likes to point out tiny details in everything and suggest improvements, Alacritty truly has not shown me any flaws that are worth pointing out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A fast terminal emulator written in Rust"
What do you like best about Alacritty?

Super fast and easy to configure.

Does a small set of features very well and intentionally leaves out other features that are better served by another product. For example, terminal multiplexing using Tmux Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alacritty?

It took a little bit of effort to ensure that it worked properly with nerd-fonts. Running on Fedora, the process will sometimes hang and not resume correctly after locking the PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have run into a few bugs while using the terminal on windows such as having problem running admin commands etc. This will usually go away after relaunching the application in administrator mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to be disliked about this as of now, but there is one problem I face sometimes, whenever I open my laptop the previous sessions don't get restored which is quite annoying but not that repetitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
