Probably because it’s more efficient. GPUs are designed to render things, which editors do. In a text editor, you’re effectively rendering fonts over a fixed background, which I assume is pretty efficient using the GPU.
We’re not talking about crazy 3D effects here.
Yay to battery savings!
I had to switch recently because I wanted to try out font ligatures and it turns out Alacritty refuse to implement support for that 😬
