I use urxvt because it works best with emacs -nox and the fonts I use.
It's customizable and has handy perl extensions.

I like st
At first I thought it was gey because it doesn't even have scrollback by default, but not I've patched it with alpha, scrollback, scrollbackmouse etc it's super comfy
It also integrates nicely with my dwm+dmenu setup
My only issue is the choppiness with some ncurses stuff, like cmatrix

I use st primarily because it just werks, though I wish I was able to dynamically configure it.

I never understood why people would need cmatrix, just to look "cool"?
Reminds me of this guy in uni running tree on his windows terminal to show off, what a meme.

Sakura. Too lazy to change fonts manually.

I use urxvt because its minimal-ish and does its config in xresources, only thing wrong with it is unicode support.
I'll switch when there is something faster and more future-proof (wayland)

I use kitty because it uses fully video card accelerated graphics and was written by a based street shitter

I'm using st, main reason why I switched to it from urxvt is that ranger-fm image preview worked without glitches in st.
Not like I actually use it very often, but still it's nice to have something that has less problems.
I don't think it's noticeably faster than urxvt, though.
