Open Source under the MIT License

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/

Easy and well documented JSON settings

Microsoft is nailing on its features

Cannot have a mix of elevated and non elevated tabs

Unstable and buggy

Slow

Doesn't have feature "Open Context Menu"

Poorly, this perfect terminal doesn't has this feature for Windows version.
