It's faster and works better than old conhost.exe

they're also planning to overhaul it with more modern features judging from its trailer[0] (yes, this terminal has a fancy 3D trailer)

I'd recommend giving it another go and digging into the documentation. They've made the UX much less clunky and support panes now as well as tabs, proper copy/paste etc. My only wish is modal keybindings but if I cared enough I'd send a PR for them.

It was extremely barebones six months ago but it's come a long way, and faster than anything else I've tried.

I'd see that video more as a "where we want to head this tool in the future" rather than an actual showcase of its current state to be honest
