I've been using konsole (and iterm2 on my work mac) for most of my working career, but on the linux side, I've recently switched to Kitty, but now I'm wondering if I can finally get used to just using emacs on both.

Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal? Is there one better than ansi-term that supports modern features like libsixel?

I still can't quite get used to the keybindings (like C-c twice for ^C) and some other weirdness.

I went the other way, I've used emacs key bindings for over a decade and switched to evil because it appears most things in doom emacs worked better.

Magit is still a bit of a mess with evil, though, but is manageable.

Maybe one day I'll switch back again, but my fingers know both.

If you like modal but find evil a little bit weird, try https://github.com/meow-edit/meow. Its a bit of work to set up, but once you made it yours its great!
