It's not hype. Here's a comprehensive review of a lot of terminals and Ghostty did very well--"State of Terminal Emulators in 2025: The Errant Champions" [1]

Can ghostty finally search in the scrollback? The last time I tried it it didn't support a freaking search. This is #1 feature I need from any terminal.

No sign of alacritty :(

Have you read the post you linked, and do you understand what it is about?

I use Ghostty because it is a native application, and it looks great on macOS and GNOME. WezTerm, Kitty, and Foot don't do that for me. Foot is great though.

After some update, Ghostty stopped working on Gnome+Mesa on older Intel graphics (IvyBridge). It doesn't really feel native to me if it doesn't run everywhere the toolkit it uses runs. I understand the reasons, but it leaves a sour taste.

They're all native applications.

No, they're not. Don't be pedantic that it's native because it is written in Rust or whatever, that's clearly not what was meant.

There's no single definition of native. If it's clearly not that for you, feel free to say what's the threshold you use.

Using the platform native UI toolkit

Wezterm is an excellent project but it doesn't have native UI chrome like Ghostty does.
