Kind of curious, what don't you like about ConEmu? I've been using it for many months now and it's been nothing but solid. I spend 99% of the time using the WSL terminal, and every once in a while I run a PowerShell terminal too.

Really, and its a terrible reason to write an entirely other app, but I just don't like the styling on the tabs :/ That tabbed Windows GUI is just so damn ugly it actually distracts me.

  > I just don't like the styling on the tabs :/ That tabbed Windows GUI is just so damn ugly it actually distracts me. They bothered me too but it's totally fixable with 1 setting. There's an option to remove the tabs and they become merged into the titlebar (with numbers). It ends up looking like this: https://imgur.com/a/NDgCZFJ https://imgur.com/a/NDgCZFJ Then you can use Win + 1 or Win + 2 (or other hotkeys) to switch between them. Right clicking the titlebar also brings up a context menu for accessing the settings and a bunch of other things. You can enable this style by going to general -> tab bar -> "don't show" (the radio button on the top left).

    Thanks, I'll give this a try :) Currently I have Hyper looking like this: https://imgur.com/a/8pZmMqM https://imgur.com/a/8pZmMqM so I have tabs that I can click between and they look nice. "Prettyness" seems like such a trivial thing to complain about, but when I spend half my working day staring at something I'd rather it was nice to look at!

While I generally like ConEmu, I personally find the multi-line selection to be pretty poor compared to something like iTerm2. (The way the selection buffer stays at the same coordinates while the text underneath it scrolls up isn't all that awesome either.)

ConEmu's performance for TUI apps like vim or weechat+ssh is not great. Not a factor if you don't use those sorts of applications, but a bit of a deal breaker if you do.
