> There are good terminals

Can you name some good ones? I am sick of putty/cygwin :(



ConEmu and Cmder are the ones that get recommended the most, I think. I used ConEmu because it was the first good one I found. It worked pretty good. I like Gnome Terminal better, still, mostly due to the lack of chaos. Those Windows terminals hook into all of the shells...so, my ConEmu had a huge menu of available shells when creating a new one: a bunch of PowerShells (32/64 bit, admin/user), and bunch of Cmd.exe (32/64, admin/user), and a bunch of bash shells (git bash, WSL bash, Cygwin bash). Just a crazy amount of complexity.

It was configurable...but, sometimes I needed one of those other shells to get something done. So, I left them alone.


Yeah, http://cmder.net/ - packages ConEmu and clink so your terminal is somewhat the same when in Windows or if you have a tab open with WSL.
