Decision brief
Electerm is designed for users needing a multifunctional terminal with support for multiple protocols on various operating systems.

- Suitable when you require cross-platform support and a consistent user experience across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Avoid when
- If your primary need is for lightweight terminal operations without the overhead of Electron and its dependencies.
- Not ideal if you specifically seek advanced features catered to a single remote access protocol.
