Out of curiosity, what tabbed terminals on other platforms would you consider to be significantly better than ConEmu/Hyper? (I've never actually used any GUI platform other than Windows for any length of time, so I would be interested in seeing what other people do use.)

iterm2 is far and away the best I've ever used. https://iterm2.com/
Apple Terminal, iTerm, gnome-terminal, konsole. I can't really name one worse than ConEmu.

ConEmu likes to do this cute thing where it stops accepting key presses. And with the all the options it has, "starting a new terminal in the directory of the previous" is nowhere to be found.

But still, it's probably the best on Windows if you want tabs.

To be fair to ConEmu, Cmder, Hyper, and all the other Windows terminals/consoles, we don't currently provide a way for them to truly become genuine consoles.

We're working to fix that, but we have to clean things up a little first. Bear with us.

And besides the iTerm2 on OSX that everyone here agrees it one of the best, Terminator on Linux does a good job too.
iterm2 on OS X is really good, maybe the gold standard as far as I'm concerned.
iTerm2, GNOME terminal.
