Pros
Pro End process notifications
When a process has ended, Pantheon Terminal sends a notification bubble to the desktop notification server and indicates which tab generated the notification.
Pro Can easily restore a previous session
Pantheon Terminal remembers the window size, position, windowed/maximized/fullscreen state, and open tabs in between sessions.
Pro Advanced tab handling
Using the Granite Dynamic Notebook widget (which includes tab close history), double click the tab bar for a new tab, duplicating tabs, quickly closing all other tabs, auto-hiding/revealing tab close buttons, etc.
Pro Smart copy and paste
The keyboard shortcut for copy + paste is intelligently adapted andnbased on text selection and clipboard state. This makes it possible to use standard copy + paste shortcuts without colliding with standard ctrl + c behavior in the Terminal.
Pro Search feature
Pro Supports multiple windows, tabs, splits/panes
tmux-like functionality with native UI even on Windows systems allows managing multiple terminal sessions how you like.
Pro Looks good
Highly customizable appearance and comes with over 240 built-in color schemes.
Pro Open Source and Free
Pro Supports font ligatures and stylistic sets
Ships with JetBrains Mono, a modern programmers font, so that you can enjoy modern typographical features such as contextual ligatures and font variations/stylistic sets in your terminal environment.
Pro GPU Accelerated
Cons
Con Heavy
Con limited customization options
Con RAM usage increases considerably over time
There is a RAM leak when using the Pantheon Terminal that adds up over time and use.
Con Incompatible with LTS Ubuntu
Pantheon is developed and binaries are released for a near blessing edge operating system (elementary OS). As such, installing it on an LTS Ubuntu system may be nearly impossible without replacing a large portion of the LTS stack that Ubuntu-targeted software expects.
Con Restrictive license
Con Lua learning curve for config
The only reason it would be difficult to recommend is that it's for experienced programmers.
