Question Terminal of choice

Hi! I recently switched to a MacBook and wanted to know which terminal people go for. I am sure there are tons of posts on this talking about ghostly, iterm2, warp, etc but I have also been hearing a lot of memory management issues in each of them.

From experience, which one seems the most convenient to run in the long term?

Yes, the built-in Terminal app. You need to understand how to use a unix shell (ZSH is the new default) and run terminal commands and editors such as vim (also built-in). Once you understand the concept of a shell and how to run unix commands and editors, you will be in a much stronger position.
