Console2 vs Babun

Console2 comes with multiple window styles out of the box and allows the user to configure fonts, colors, and transparency to their liking.

Console2's text selection is intuitive and easy to use.

Hotkeys allow the user to easily trigger an action and can be configured to their liking.

Borderless windowed mode is basically a fullscreen mode but with a super fast alt tab option and seamless task switching without the risk of crashes or freezes.

Console2 supports transparency. You can adjust how transparent the background should be.

You can change the width and height of the console window without having to reset your session.

Console2 supports fullscreen mode, making for greater visibility.

Console2 facilitates the running of CMD, PowerShell, Cygwin, PuTTY, etc.

Console2 is licensed under MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1, making it free and open source.

Console2 allows the user to create tabs for separate instances of the terminal, allowing them to have both multiple shells and multiple instances of the same shell open.

Babun comes with both bash and zsh out of the box. This gives both beginners and advanced users the choice of which shell to run.

Babun come with a package manager called Pact, which is an extremely simple yet powerful package manager similar to apt-get or yum for Linux.

Oh-my-zsh is a dead simple configuration and management for zsh (which is a pretty powerful shell), allowing even first time users to take advantage of the most powerful features it offers.

Babun is built on top of Cygwin, meaning that Unix or Linux applications can be compiled and run on a Windows operating system from within a Linux-like interface.

256 color xterm is simple, but many programs simply do it wrong. Babun uses well-established command-line programs that do it right, and which then wrap them in a nicely themed package.
