Best for

Power users who want tabs, panes, and SSH multiplexing in one tool.

Why it deserves attention

WezTerm combines a GPU-accelerated terminal with its own multiplexer, so panes and tabs survive SSH sessions without running tmux separately. Everything is configured in Lua, which makes conditional key bindings and per-host behavior possible, and the same config works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The power comes with a learning curve, and the documentation assumes you are comfortable editing a config file.
