The gained performance in the current release (and in Insiders for the past days) is huge - even without heaps of output. Those couple of milliseconds improved rendering time matter even if you "only" ls in a directory.
Thumbs up for this, Daniel. Thanks.

Great, I didn't know the terminal portion if VS Code exists as a separate project. Was it made to fuel VS Code? Or did it already exist before launching VS Code?
I also liked the name of the project, xterm.js. :)
It already existed, you can see when we started shipping the integrated terminal pretty clearly from the contribution graph :) https://github.com/sourcelair/xterm.js/graphs/contributors
The project itself is a fork of the popular term.js which is now unmaintained, we've taken it quite far since then. Hyper are probably going to be making a switch once a few more kinks are worked out too https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/1275
Looks like xterm.js was started by Sourcelair, which looks like a Cloud IDE.

Thanks for your work on this! The addition and consistent improvement of the integrated terminal is the number one reason why VSCode is my daily driver.
