I'm running Git Bash since the day I installed Git. It's been awesome since it's been stable, fast and I prefer the UNIX-like environment.
What terminal do you use and why?

Windows Terminal
Windows Terminal best terminal

it's like play Justin Bieber to an alien who doesn't know Michael Jackson exists.
Have you tried to contribute something to it? π
For a long time I have used Kitty and later Alacritty. After switching over to Windows , Windows Terminal with Alpine WSL (barebone gnu utilities was enough for my daily usage) was my first choice for its speed, and spent some time in Fluent Terminal as well. I am planning to switch over to hackintosh, where maybe I would go with iTerm, not sure though.
Kitty and Termux. Sometimes I also use hyper.js, but it can be slow.
At the end of the day speed is my priority, too π
But it's always nice to have something fancy too for the low cost of resources ππ
I've never been super picky when it comes to terminals, as long as there are tabs I use whatever. Mainly Konsole with fish shell. No particular reason why I use Konsole. Fish shell I've gotten used to the colored feedback when typing commands.
Forgot to mention on my work laptop Win10 I use cmder.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to give Fish up. I love being able to start a new function with
funced/funcsave, and also the abbreviation system.Yeah fish got so many good features once you get used to it, it feels so weird to use bash. I have quite a few abbr, and functions too.
How many have you gone through? π
Not many tbh. Cmder on Windows, and powershell. On Linux, terminator, alacritty and Konsole, the latest with tmux and I'm set.
Hyper β₯οΈ It got super awesome plugins and I can customize it in any way I want π
Yeah, I found it randomly and now I used it daily, super light and fast(compare with other base-electron app !!) + full customizable
I've heard some good stuff about hyper π₯π₯
Just the default Terminal for Mac.
I've thought about switching to ITerm or Hyper for the fun customization options, but there's something to be said about how fast, simple, and resource-light Terminal is. :P
Did you try them after all? π
tmux with bash in Linux, the new Windows Terminal (github.com/microsoft/terminal) in Windows
Kitty with JetBrains Mono NERD patched font. I loved Alacritty until I found out it did not support font ligatures, so I switched to Kitty. Overall I am very happy with it, and it seems quite fast.
Windows Terminal with Git Bash and Ubuntu Bash :)
