    Tabby seems to get a lot of hate in the comments here, but I enjoy it for the following reasons:

    • it looks consistently on all platforms
    • it has a nice working sync of connection profiles (even of ssh keys…encrypted!)
    • its opensource

    Yes, it is built on electron-crappie, but for someone who jumps across different workstations with multiple hosts with their own configurations, tabby is very straightforward.

    Could the sync be done with other means? Sure, but I won’t bother since tabby offers that OOTB and I can get up and running in 5 minutes from a fresh install.

      Sorry, but what on earth does this have to do with a terminal emulator? Something like this makes way more sense as a separate tool. It’s like if I was making a decision of what video player to use because it can sync my browser bookmarks.

      • So can qt, gtk and pretty much any gui toolkit
      • Syncthing or git annex functionally the same
      • So is every other terminal

      Basically just wasting resources for no reason
