Is Cmder/ConEmu good? I use it and kinda expected it to be listed.

My list wasn't supposed to be exhaustive in any way. I'm sorry if it sounded like that.

There are quite a few terminal emulators on windows and I just listed a few I thought noteable.

I didn't even mention the new one from Microsoft!

If you just want a sleek looking terminal for a few commands, cmder is definitely a valid choice. The occasionally broken copy paste is however dangerous, as it can remove characters from the middle of a line

I.e. `rm -rf /tmp/something && echo success` can get shortened to `rm -rf / && echo success`. It's admittedly very unlikely, as it usually just introduces errors such as `rm -rf /tm & echo success`.

The new one from Microsoft is getting there, is just needs an "Terminal here" on right click ;)

Also yes I noticed those issues in Cmder, I'm always looking for better choices that look nice to the eyes.

ConEmu works but honestly every time I look into Windows terminals I keep looking for another option, there's just so many issues with ConEmu.
Any good ones? I use Cmder (ConEmu based) a lot, but I do notice the issues from time to time.
