Windows has Windows Terminal and PowerShell, too. Apple and Linux also have PowerShell.

Presumably the draw is UNIX, not the Terminal app itself.

POSIX is probably the best way to put it. This would cover Unix, Gnu/Linux, Darwin, BSD... the whole family tree.

One of my main pain points in Windows is that the terminal app options are so crap compared to iterm2 or even the plain terminal app. The app itself is definitely a draw too

Were you thinking of the Console Window? If so, that's not a terminal in the UNIX sense.

These days, there's the Windows Terminal, which is fine, surely, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal-preview/9...
