    I've used it for 10 years and it truly is one of the best in my opinion. It's native, very small in size and memory usage, not browser/electron garbage, has a global hotkey, many customization options, has clink built in, is portable, has profiles to easily go into bash, powershell and wsl, it really has it all.

It feels better than the original Linux shell. Great colors. It can reopen tabs after reboots.

Good, but has a problem with latest stand-alone git installations. You have to re-configure bash/mintty tasks manually or always use portable git version from Full Installer.

You can open powershell command line or common cmd, customize all and create a lot of profiles
