kitty Description
This kitty is for power keyboard users. All its controls can be used with the keyboard, although it also supports mouse interactions. Its configuration is simple and easily editable by humans. I prefer to store configuration in source control. The code in kitty was designed to be modular, easy-to-use, and hackable. It is written in a mixture of C (for performance sensitive parts), and Python (for easy hackability). It doesn't depend on any complicated UI toolkit and uses only OpenGL to render everything. Lastly, kitty was designed from the ground up in order to support all modern terminal features such as unicode and true color, bold/italic fonts and text formatting. It extends existing text formatting escape code support to add support for additional features such as colored and styled underlines. Kitty's design goal is to be extensible so that future features can be added.

iTerm2
iTerm2 replaces Terminal and is the successor to iTerm. It works with Macs running macOS 10.14 and higher. iTerm2 brings terminals into the modern age with new features that you didn't know you needed. iTerm2 offers many features. Every possible desire that a terminal user may have was anticipated and solved. These are not the only main attractions. Split a tab into multiple panes. Each one will show a different session. You can also slice horizontally or vertically to create as many panes as you like. Register a hotkey to bring iTerm2 up when you're working in another program. A keypress is all it takes to open a terminal. You can have the hotkey open a separate window. This allows you to always have a terminal at your disposal. iTerm2 has a robust page-finding feature. The UI is kept out of the way. All matches are highlighted immediately. Even regular expression support can be provided!

MacTerm
This powerful replacement for macOS Terminal supports 24-bit color, standard graphics protocols, and iTerm2 color sequences and schemes. MacTerm is one the few emulators that allows terminal-based programs to set up up to 8 bits per RGB component (for total of 24 bits). This allows for a wide range of colors on the screen. The terminal can preserve incoming text perfectly. It can copy it to the Clipboard or capture it to a File, Print it, or Drag and Drop special characters. To input any type of character, you can also use the floating command-line window. (In 4.1.0, Unicode characters could only be displayed by the terminal. These limitations have been removed in 5.0. Unicode is also supported for file names and preference collection names.
