-ghostty is purposely minimal and provides no multi-window or tabbing support;
-it is expected to be used with something like a tiling window manager. Long
-term, we want to add support for a richer native GUI experience, especially
-for macOS and Windows.
+While aiming for this ambitious goal, ghostty is a fully standards compliant
+terminal emulator that aims to remain compatible with all existing shells
+and software. You can use this as a drop-in replacement for your existing
+terminal emulator.
 
 **Project Status:** Pre-Alpha. This project is not ready to be used as a
 day-to-day terminal emulator. It can't even render vim yet!
