So, yes this has veered strongly into preferences and semantics.
But the job of a terminal emulator is to act as a terminal. Terminals don't drop output in normal operation. That's a failure mode, and maybe it's reasonable or even acceptable.
But the output is imperfect. Imperfections are flaws.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything here. Horses for courses, of course.
I'm just surprised to learn that any terminal emulator developer decided that "giving up" is OK. I am sure the other options I can think of were also all considered by the developers, but I'm still surprised.
