- iterm2: pretty standard, easy to use, looks nicer
- alacritty: more complex to install and build but I liked running it and it pairs well with tmux.
There are customized fonts that add special characters, it's not strictly useful but it's very good looking. Powerline characters are some of those extra characters that add the diamonds to your terminal. I like "Source Code Pro Powerline" and "Ubuntu Mono Powerline""
