Subject: Update Alacritty's description
Alacritty's description in the readme and manpage has always been a bit
overly aggressive in its marketing. This new updated text should more
accurately describe Alacritty's current state without pointlessly
agitating people.

.SH NAME
-alacritty \- a cross-platform, gpu-accelerated terminal emulator
+Alacritty \- A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
alacritty [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
.SH DESCRIPTION
-Alacritty is a terminal emulator with a strong focus on simplicity and
-performance. With such a strong focus on performance, included features are
-carefully considered and you can always expect Alacritty to be blazingly fast.
-By making sane choices for defaults, Alacritty requires no additional setup.
-However, it does allow configuration of many aspects of the terminal.
+Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but
+allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with other applications,
+rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible
+set of features with high performance.
