Alacritty, Konsole, or something else? Which terminal emulator do you recommend? (lemm.ee)

So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don't have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there.

Specifically I've seen talk of Kitty and Alacritty, although I've also read that the dev of Kitty is allegedly kind of a jerk, so I am specifically interested in how Konsole matches up to Alacritty in your experience, but other suggestions and general terminal emulator discussion are also welcome!

This repo has the information on the color supported by various terminal emulators.

Check the info to see whether your favorite terminal emulator supports truecolor or not.

P.S. My favorite alacritty supports true color
