The Windows Terminal. It was a long journey to get the console code fairly modernized and maintainable. Another long journey to build a whole new application that could be compatible with the old. And years now of iterating of that original prototype, out in the open.
It's not a perfect application, by any means. But the bar was _so_ low, that I can't help but think of how much we've helped users just over the last few years.

- lloydatkinson 4y agoAh cool! I guess I'll take advantage of that in a couple of years when we're all forced from 10 to the broken UI hell that is 11.
- tim-- 4y agoI absolutely love Windows Terminal! Thank you so much for everything that you have done! I love being able to assign shortcuts to things like an SSH console.
