I really dislike that one. Not enough configurability. Unlike Apple terminal which is kinda surprising because normally Microsoft is the one with all the option settings and Apple makes the opinionated software where they decide everything and the user has to take it as it comes.

But Microsoft is becoming similar unfortunately. You can see it in other software too, like them discontinuing the real Outlook and replacing it with a web one that has much fewer options, can't even be started up offline (!) and wastes more screen space. And they are moving more and more apps to electron or their own knockoff of it.

Windows terminal is great. Very performant and looks really nice. I also have mobaxterm for doing work remote machines, but for local work using WSL Ubuntu it’s my preferred terminal by far.

Oh I used it only when it first came out. I went back to PuTTY (i never use the console on windows for other stuff and I'm not allowed to use WSL at work). And at home i only have a windows box for gaming.

So there was some assumption on my part sorry. But informed assumption because other stuff I work with (Teams, Outlook) have only become much worse since their release :)

To be a fly on the wall when they decide to go live with a Teams (New) that asks if you want to keep using Teams [not new].

How do you judge performance of a terminal ? I know graphics in the terminal is an edge case and all but when I'm running a chafa [0] application Windows terminal on Windows is about 1000x slower than alacritty on mac, I run into issues where if I hold down a key all the key events get queued up as if the graphics thread is blocking the applications ability to react to key events, so I just have to baby it and hit one key at a time.

we're talking about Mac terminals.

That’s anything Microsoft makes these days.
