I really wish Microsoft would stop wasting time on pointless stuff like this. Windows Terminal was sorely needed, but it's now (and has been for 1-2 years) good enough for daily use, and much better than Console Host.
What Microsoft really needs to focus on is PowerShell. PowerShell can't even do basic stuff like piping right, something Bash has been able to do since the 90s:

- sharken 4y agoOptimizing graphics output in WT requires different skills than doing piping in PowerShell. But i agree that it's almost embarrassingly bad, that native piping has had no significant progress since 2016. With PowerShell Core (7.x) now in a good state, one would think the piping could be improved. Do note that it is targeted for PowerShell 7.3 tentatively, so it won't be used by default in Windows 10/11 or Windows Server.
