You misunderstood me, I was saying Kitty graphics protocol feels more like a toy in how well it can produce graphics (GIFs, videos, etc). Sixel is more common in actual use cases (at the moment). But, take notcurse's graphics demo for example, using the kitty backend, it's very unreal terminal experience. But once Kitty's graphics protocol has more widespread support, for example in graphing tools, it'll be just as useful as Sixel :)
