As a long-time paid MobaXterm user, it feels like it's becoming less relevant as Microsoft Terminal and WSL advance. That said, it still offers a lot of convenience... a lot of things that you can do with WSL with some setup are one-click in MobaXterm. The MobaXterm developers also seem pretty responsive in making improvements, so it's not unusual for newer things to show up in MobaXterm first - for example, before WSL MobaXterm was by far the easiest way to get a mosh client in Windows.
I guess the question is whether or not MobaXterm development will keep ahead of Microsoft Terminal. The main downside right now, I would say, is that MobaXterm feels slower. But that comes with the benefit of a lot of conveniences.
- NikolaNovak 5y agoAgreed; I've used it for a long time as paid user, and when you invest the initial overhead of learning/setup time, it has saved me tons of time every day when I worked as sysadmin. (I'm also guilty of "do as I say not as I do", and occasionally during critical incidents logging in to multiple servers at once and parallelizing my keyboard output 0:-)
- kyriakos 5y agoIntegration with sftp browser and follow terminal path saved me many hours. Drag and drop a file from/to local to/from current terminal directory is an amazing shortcut.
- ponytech 5y agoIn my case I am using MobaXterm to start my WSL terminal, so it will stay in my setup for the foreseeable future.
