is it because it's distributed through the store or because you're on a too old version of Windows? In the first case, you could probably build it yourself and install it on your own EDIT: you can download built packages from the Releases tab https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases

It seems they haven’t really learned. Granted, some aspects are better. You can get to the .NET download in about 10 seconds [1]. But, why can’t they make Visual C++ easy? What does it have to look like this?: [2]. Or this?: [3]. Why can’t they just have this?: [4]. Why does it need to be buried in a blog post, or a help article? And then there’s the new Microsoft Terminal, which was only available in the Microsoft Store until people complained [5].

The new terminal is quite good. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

Has anyone tried the new official terminal? [0]/[1] It looks rather interesting, if still in prerelease. (also, there's a trailer for it on YouTube - so weird [2]) 0: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal 1: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal-preview/9... 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE

I haven't tried it myself, but there's the new Windows Terminal if you aren't aware of it. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

There's a lack of financial incentive to build TUI apps. It's a niche. It's awesome for power users: no lag, all keyboard driven, raw structured data. But businesses buy slack / trello / salesforce for swathes of people. That sort of thing doesn't happen if the following is simply limited to programmers / power users (and a cross section of those at that) I haven't seen any C++11+ wrappers for ncurses... until, recently: https://github.com/clangen/cursespp, https://github.com/Praetonus/Ncursescpp strange license. There are people who are on the forefront of terminal tech, examples are stuff by https://github.com/saitoha, https://github.com/mitotic/graphterm There is hyper: https://hyper.is/ It works on windows. But by then, you potentially have the lag time most terminal users want to bypass. For windows, maybe https://github.com/microso

TL;DR EARLY PREVIEW BUILD This very early preview release includes many usability issues, most notably the lack of support for assistive technology. Much of the internal work to support this is complete and it’s our top priority to support assistive technology very soon. To follow progress please follow this issue on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/634 ABOUT WINDOWS TERMINAL The Windows Terminal is a new, modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. Its main features include multiple tabs, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and custom themes, styles, and configurations.

Their Github page lists only one download link to the Windows Store but you could build it too https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

The new Windows Terminal is looking very nice so far: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal You still have to build it from source in VS 2017 or 2019, and there are a few rough edges (currently only middle click for copy/paste), but it's a great start. They should have some official binaries up pretty soon.

You won't need any third party ones on Windows soon enough. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

I use iTerm (unfortunately only available for macOS) [1] There’s a theme that makes it look compact (nicer?) [2] iTerm is native, supports plugins (Python scripting API), is CPU/RAM friendly, with milliseconds input (very important for touch typing), it’s open source (GPL v2) [3][4], the author is a proficient programmer which I hope to sponsor via GitHub Sponsors program soon [5] although you can already sponsor him via Patreon [6], offers smooth split panes, hotkey, buffer search, intelligent autocomplete, instant replay, an exaggerated amount of extra options available from the application settings, additional shell integrations, inline images, password manager, annotations, and the list of features continues with the beta builds.
