Windows support is really appreciated! I just switched from a MacBook to a Surface Book, and the biggest pain point has been finding a good terminal to replace iTerm2. I'll definitely try this when I get home!

Try out conemu https://conemu.github.io/ for windows. Its great because I prefer to use git bash on windows, and you can default it and switch easily between that or powershell or cmd or WSL

A lot of people suggest CMDER these days. Looks like it is a fork of ConEmu.

It's just ConEmu packaged with some additional utilities like clink and a custom launcher. Actually quite nice since you can update to the latest version of ConEmu with no issues.

When I tried it, I found it to be slower over ConEnu. ConEmu takes some customization, but I found the experience to be better once I got past that.

The bash shell that comes with Git for Windows is the best terminal on Windows. https://git-for-windows.github.io/

I'm actually using the bash that's bundled with git-for-windows as the shell in Hyper and it works great.

Just kind of pointed it to that bash for easy switch and didn't really see a reason to try and find anything else.

May I ask what your launch options are? I've spend hours trying to wire up these two without success...
Re:Hyper 1.0.0 by Klathmon on Saturday December 17, 2016 @10:56AM (#13201110)
Yeah, the only thing I changed is the `shell` key in the .hyper.js file to point directly to the bash.exe that's bundled with git for windows.

    // the shell to run when spawning a new session (i.e. /usr/local/bin/fish)
    // if left empty, your system's login shell will be used by default
    shell: 'C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe',
If you want, here is a link to my full .hyper.js config, i haven't really done anything else except change the shell, font, font-size, and plugins.

Looks like I had been pointing at the wrong bash exe the whole time... Thanks!

This is probably not the best option for you but if you want unix terminals cygwin X11 still totally works, albeit with the inevitable disadvantages of cygwin.

I run full-screen cygwin X11 so I can use fvwm2 as a manager for multiple xterms, and still find it vastly superior to any alternative for me, but I'm pretty sure I'm an outlier in that regard.

I switched to Windows 10 about a year ago and having tried all the options listed above I would suggest giving https://mintty.github.io/ a shot.
