No love for Windows Terminal? I know that linux has a much richer terminal ecosystem, but WT ranks a lot higher than a wide breadth of terminal emulators on linux now. Could anyone have imagined that 10 years ago?


In the test, Windows Terminal (weirdly written as "terminal.exe") comes up as #4 in the scoring table.

As to the "love" question, I still watch this video from time to time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE :)

EDIT: I love the easter egg with the names of the developers across the Windows timeline :)


It's what I most miss from using windows. It handles tabs, theming and renaming of windows so well. Being able to tell at a glance what each window is connected to, it's purpose etc is very handy for me.


I absolutely love it, it's my personal favorite. Using ghostty on MacOS instead.

But I'm no power user.


I would argue that anyone who uses the terminal enough to have opinions on which one they like best is very much a power user.


I don't know, reading around feels like power users are mostly defined but the tons of features they use and miss when switching emulators.
