I've tried almost all the terminal emulators listed in the article with Hyper being the most recent and keep going back to mintty. The first time I tried Hyper Ctrl L didn't work at all. It does now but the performance story or tmux experience ('reset' would be required to restore the status bar) is still not ideal. mintty just works. With regards to having access to a Linux environment, I've tried developing using a Linux Vagrant box while sharing the Windows filesystem using VirtualBox Shared Folders. This worked for smallish directories but I still had to contend with workarounds for symlink issues. Then I went down the WSL route before and after the Fall Creators Update. It's impressive how far WSL has come but the file system performance hits are noticeable. Now I'm settling on having just one beefy Debian Vagrant box. Its filesystem is exported to Windows using Samba so native text editors can be used but all fs operations run within the VM with no NTFS compatibility issues. Performance is great and Docker works without the Hyper-V lock-in.
