Common Questions
Pros
Pro Official Microsoft product
Pro Is an *actual* terminal emulator--what a Linux user would expect--like xterm
Not a command prompt/processor (i.e. shell) but a host for such applications.
Pro Multiple shell support
Pro Open Source under the MIT License
Pro Easy and well documented JSON settings
Pro Microsoft is nailing on its features
Pro Multi-Terminal
Many terminals in one, save-able, restart-able, session.
Pro Simple
Minimalist. All you need is to connect to a serial host.
Cons
Con Requires latest version of Windows 10
Con Cannot have a mix of elevated and non elevated tabs
Con Unstable and buggy
Sometimes freezes and/or crashes.
Con Configured via (mostly) documented json
Con Slow
Con Doesn't have feature "Open Context Menu"
Poorly, this perfect terminal doesn't has this feature for Windows version.
Con Dated
Hasn't been updated for a while, so your Windows will need legacy .NET runtime support. (Windows will automatically detect this and initiate the update, if needed)
