Great post! Not a fan of Hyper, but very good tips, advices and tools!

Not everyone is a fan of Hyper, and that's ok! A lot of Electron apps suffer without having great processing power in your machine. The same can be said for VS Code's performance at times. All in all, I love that it's built by Zeit. Their design language, making the tool accessible to a ton of platforms, and the fact I can config the tool using JavaScript makes it appealing to me personally.

I’m currently using iTerm2 and was actually considering trying Hyper. What did you dislike about it?

Performance. I don't have a very powerful machine and sometimes and it feels too slow -- I type and had to wait to see my input. I found issues like mine in the repo, and with iTerm2 I don't face this problem.

Hmm that's a valid concern and something that I heard multiple times with Hyper. Will have to look into it a bit more myself. Thanks for the reply
