Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal emulator? (lemmy.ca)

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.

This is a problem that I face too. I have not yet figured out how to smoothly move over my terminal workflows to vterm (running ZSH in vi mode).

I even made a post here asking for suggestions but I have not found a graceful solution to it yet.

@AusatKeyboardPremi @kelvie If you use doom-Emacs, you just hit C-z to go to Emacs-state and hit it back again to go back to Evil-mode after working in a mode you think Emacs-state is more productive...
