zellij is a terminal multiplexer like tmux which for example allows you to have multiple terminals shown in the same window. It works both locally and over SSH. Which GUI would do the same?
I’m currently using zellij after previously having used tmux. For me zellij is a direct upgrade in every way, and the default tmux keybindings are even supported out of the box in zellij which makes transitioning incredibly easy. The only downside is that I have no idea how to pronounce the name.
Wouldn’t the multiplexer run inside the terminal emulator? I don’t use a multiplexer myself, but I thought it was independent of what emulator you use.

Probably written in Intellij Rust
oh neat i see the resemblence
While I do understand the need for multiplexers when working over the wire, locally I have iTerm2 which is way more comfortable for me.

You are correct, I’m just saying I don’t see the need for it locally…I have tabs, splits, windows, easier copy/paste, … with iTerm2 already.
Gotcha. Yeah, I feel similarly.
