The Windows Terminal. It was a long journey to get the console code fairly modernized and maintainable. Another long journey to build a whole new application that could be compatible with the old. And years now of iterating of that original prototype, out in the open.

It's not a perfect application, by any means. But the bar was _so_ low, that I can't help but think of how much we've helped users just over the last few years.



Nice! Thanks for working on it, the "command prompt" is absolutely miserable. I read all the blog posts explaining Windows and its different terminal/shell layers before the new one was added.

I hope it ships with Windows by default one day.



Ah cool! I guess I'll take advantage of that in a couple of years when we're all forced from 10 to the broken UI hell that is 11.


I absolutely love Windows Terminal! Thank you so much for everything that you have done! I love being able to assign shortcuts to things like an SSH console.
