Hyper looks fancy, but the performance is quite bad, especially on the corporate machines with firewalls, proxies and other limitations users have by default. I can recommend Babun, it is upgraded Cygwin terminal with some nice out of the box features (zsh, oh-my-zsh, python, pre-configured .zshrc and .bashrc etc.). However oit can also be quite slow, especially in the corp environment where you have many limitations and sometimes you cannot even get admin rights. So far my best experience was with Cmder + Chocolatey package manager + some extra downloaded GNU utilities like curl, xmllint, windows version of vim and other things.
