Hi, can you tell how it competes to cmder and iterm? I use these currently in windows and osx

  Not sure about this (I haven't used either, just looked at their sites), but I believe those are terminal emulators. They're the thing that displays the shell and handle input and copy/paste etc. The shell is what actually handles key presses and produces the output (handling commands, input/output redirection, etc). They're not the same thing - I bet you could use fish inside cmder or iterm.

    Ah okay now I get it, so it's comparable to bash or zsh

  I'd say it doesn't since neither of those are shells. They're both terminal emulators that run a shell within them, usually bash for linux/mac or cmd for windows.

  I can't believe I'll live the day to see somebody confusing a shell and a terminal emulator on Hacker News. What happened?
