Windows Terminal Preview 0.9

Somebody fill me in. What is the strategic value to Microsoft of making their own terminal? Especially when there are apparently so many out there. Also, why are there are so many? I guess as a web dev I've always just accepted the basic terminal and it's been fine for me. Am I missing out?

Strategic value is turn developers from macOS back to windows and have better sales for windows laptops.

The basic terminals on linux/macOS are fine. The basic CMD terminal on Windows is terrible and is NOT ok.

I've done all my developing on a MacBook. This makes sense now. Thanks.
