If you are Linux or MacOS user, then for sure you are used to feature-rich terminals. And probably you cringe a little bit inside every time you have to use Windows command prompt. I feel you, but maybe you don't know yet that Windows 10 offers official (and free) next generation terminal for Windows. Terminal for Windows borrows all the best features from Linux/Unix terminals.
You can try it really easily! Terminal is available in Windows Store, just find the application in the Store:
After installation you should see it as a new application in your run menu:
Probably the most important Terminal's feature is a support for multiple tabs. You can open new tab by clicking plus sign at the top of the Terminal window. Or even better, you can click the expand button to choose the terminal type you would like to open in new tab (PowerShell, Command Prompt, Linux distribution like Ubuntu, etc).
Microsoft did really great job when it comes to Terminal and they keep adding new awesome stuff with every release. Go give it a try!
