Wezterm was great, but I had to stop using it recently because it keeps crashing immediately (across two different computers) on CachyOS/Arch :/
It's just broken on KDE permanently I guess :/ There have beem tickets about it, and there is an AUR repo with a patch that used to fix it... but :/
Was already worried about the project given that it hasn't seen a new release in quite a long time. Got the feeling that the maintainer has mostly moved on.
It's been almost a year for me now but I had also stopped using it due to crashes. And since it shares a process for all your windows, it would close all my windows which just drove me nuts after awhile.
Though for me, I only wanted the absolute bare minimum, which Alacritty covers. I was sad to lose ligatures, but Alacritty is stable and very fast.
Ghostty replaced wezterm for me, plus it supports ligatures and is just as fast as alacritty.
I was really excited for it, because I didn't know about it, but seems to scratch every terminal itch I've got.
Except it didn't run on my Windows VDI because "The OpenGL implementation is too old to work with glium". There's a config workaround here https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/issues/1813 though. I don't know if this setting, or the implementation per se, makes rendering slow, but it's unusable for me. I can't wait a couple of seconds for every keystroke inside mc, rendering text is supposed to be lightning fast.
I'm also suffering this on macOS. I can get through an entire work day, but when I close the laptop for the night and come back the next day, wez has crashed and I don't know why.

IIRC the maintainer was moving countries. Not saying that's the main or only reason, but it is likely a factor.
