God, please don't use Hyper, it's literally a terminal built with Electron, possibly the slowest practical way to implement a terminal. If you're on macOS or Linux, use the built in terminal. If you're on Windows, use Windows Terminal [0], the new one, not cmd prompt. [0] https://github.com/microsoft/terminal https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

God, please don't use the built-in terminal on macOS. Use iTerm.

  That's true but it's another thing that beginners will have to install. It's better to let them use the basic tools first and then suggest iTerm afterwards, in my experience teaching others programming.

    Honestly you can get iterm2, zsh and oh-my-zsh installed in like <10mins and have a great looking terminal that you never have to mess with again it’s not really a newbie overhead.

      the thing with newbie is no overhead and teach them lessons. leave tweaking and aesthetics for their own time. if they really are into the terminal, they will find their own way and time to decorate em.

      That setup takes about 10 minutes to launch too. Slap fish on the default terminal and you have something that launches fast and works out of the box and requires less additional stuff to install.

  Why? Terminal.app has the lowest latency of them all on Mac!

    Small, slight improvements. The switch is practically seamless.

  Quick dismissal with no reason is quite a waste of space. I think the rendering is better and faster than iTerm. I still use iTerm for a few features but there's no reason not to recommend the default terminal to people.

Adding to this comment. Additionally, the author states you can have multiple panels. For those new to the command line you can do something similar using tmux. https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~ckuehl/tmux/ https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~ckuehl/tmux/

Frontend Developers don't care about performance so long as it runs "good enough" on their M1 Macbooks.
