My choices are as follows.

* Linux:

# Tilix - probably the best option in terms of performance, customization, looks and features.

# Extraterm - in my experience the best electron-based terminal emulator in terms of performance. It has some neat features too. I catch myself using it more often than Tilix.

* Windows:

# CMDer - pretty much the only option. Has everything one needs, even built in bash on Windows. Useful on Windows 7 PCs at work that don't have WSL or admin rights to install more stuff.

* MacOS

# Plain old built in terminal is actually nice ;)

# Extraterm is alright too, but it's electron based and the old mac-mini does not really like it.

# iTerm 2 - never got around to fully configuring it, but everyone swears by it.

cmdr/conemu's copy paste is broken on my work pc.

i tried all available copy-paste options (i think there were 4?). none worked. also, the screen keeps flickering with cmdr.

probably a byproduct from the cheap hardware or virus scanner... so hyper won by default.

i'm looking forward to the new windows terminal though. it'll hopefully get rid of that atrocity.

I usually use ctrl+c/ctrl+v for single line copy paste.

For multi-line the only thing I found to work was right click :) it then properly formats multi-line paste.

Even a single word copy paste is missing at least a few characters in the middle
