If you would like a very silly reason, sometimes I want to copy logs to other devs really quickly from a server, but exporting them to a file and then rsyncing it back is just a bunch of commands and files I don't want to deal with. Because I have alacritty I'll do a cheeky hack and scale the font down to like 2pt, highlight everything and then copy it.
I can copy around 500 lines of logs this way. Quick and dirty.
Other than that IDK.
And about the tabbing and splitting. I got tired of all the terminal emulators I like not supporting it, and some contexts not supporting paging, and not having a nice way to review a long running process, and took the dive to learn tmux.
Tmux. A terrible solution to a bunch of stupid problems. Highly recommend.
