> And I didn't feel the need to resort to personally attacking you to try to make my point. Something you should learn from.
Coming from the person repeatedly calling me a shill and a liar? Don’t make me laugh!
It seems you still don’t get it. You are the one that has turned this into ghostty vs kitty, not me. I suspect you understand the flower shop analogy but are just ignoring it because it doesn’t help your argument. At no point have I said that ghostty is better than kitty ;) I’m still using kitty as we speak, so my usual flower shop hasn’t changed.
It’s kind of sad that you are so upset that someone on the internet could possibly be impressed with ghostty’s 1.0.1 release notes. I have little interest in your take on it, because it is needlessly trolling on an innocent comment.
Possibly you should take note from the downvotes and flags on your comments here. No doubt you will blame the army of ghostty shills who have organised themselves into a globally coordinated voting ring. As for me, I take it as a signal that what you have to say on this thread isn’t particularly interesting or worth replying to.
Oh boy, you still don’t get it! The fact you saw it as something that needed refuting really says a lot more about you than anything else. It’s actually ok to let positive comments about other terminals go unrefuted and just get on with your life ;) But seemingly you can’t let it go.
By the way, nobody is choosing ghostty over kitty just because of the release notes for 1.0.1, so no need to fret! If I was shilling I’d have picked something more persuasive ;)
For anyone else following this disaster of a subthread, I’ve now realised “aumerle” is actually Kovid Goyal, the undisclaimed author of Kitty.
If I had to speculate, seems he’s just on edge that there’s a new kid on the block gaining popularity. A story as old as time!
> Still waiting for you to admit you were wrong in the first place.
It’s actually incredible you still don’t see. It’s impossible for my comment to be wrong, because I get to decide what I’m impressed by. Just because you wrote a terminal, doesn’t mean you suddenly have authority to tell others what they should or shouldn’t be impressed by. You have no such authority :) If I’d claimed that ghostty’s release velocity is better than kitty’s (or vice versa), then you’d have a point. But I didn’t ;)
> You have provided increasingly desperate personal attacks.
Actually, I haven’t. I also don’t have skin in the game and have no reason to be desperate. I haven’t devoted a significant amount of my time to writing a terminal, for example. And I don’t even use ghostty (yet).
Downvotes on your comments are still ticking up, as are upvotes on mine. I know it’s not kosher to talk about votes, but I don’t know what other signal you need to maybe take a break for a bit and calm down :)
> "It's impossible for me to be wrong" that right there tells us all we need to know about you.
Actually, it doesn’t, as it’s very clear you still don’t understand what I’m saying XD
If I was comparing ghostty to kitty, I can obviously be wrong. But I was just saying I’m impressed, which literally can’t be wrong unless I’m lying about being impressed.
It’s like if I look across a lake and say “what a lovely view”. And someone comes by and says “no there’s a much better one where I was standing, you should take back what you said or provide evidence to your claim”. Don’t you see how silly this is ;)
> Do you actually believe ghostty has a development velocity faster than its peers, specifically, kitty and WezTerm? Yes or no.
You said you didn’t give a “rat’s ass” about my opinion ;)
This is where you’ve gone wrong. It don’t know or care whether ghostty has a development velocity faster than kitty. I didn’t say it did. Nobody in this sub-thread has said anything (good or bad) about kitty. The only person interested in ghostty vs kitty in this sub-thread is you.
So the question you’re demanding that I answer is like demanding I prove that the view I was impressed with across the lake is better than the view you had. When it really doesn’t matter which view was better. It’s possible to be impressed by something in isolation, without it being turned into a competition.
I’m not answering your question because I have no part to play in the 1-person argument you’re having with yourself about whose development velocity is faster, when nobody was making the comparison to begin with (except you).
I feel like I’m wasting my breath though, but at least I can say I tried! And I suspect HN comment depth limits may kick in soon. So I’ll bow out now and give you the pleasure of the last word, since you certainly seem to need it more than me ;)
I see you can’t answer voxtech’s question, because your entire position would crumble to dust ;)
I hope you’ve had a chance to reflect and learn from this. Your responses and logical reasoning here has only made you look foolish. HN seems to agree, though people have actually done you a favor by flagging ~8 of your comments to death!
