Finally good looking terminal. Unfortunately, really heavy on resources and sometimes influences system performance.

This trend of using electron to make simple apps needs to die. What's next, an unit converter that is a 100mb electron app?

Alot of good things and alot of bad things about this emulator. Worst thing last update is 2,5 years old.

What's the point of using a web, multimedia-capable framework to create an application that just shows plain text. Why would one package a 50MB terminal, packing stuff that will never be needed in a terminal. It would make sense if they were to spend all that effort to create a terminal-based web browser.

Was enticed by the wonderful website and promise of plugins. Quickly realized this is the weakest terminal app I have ever used. On Mac OS at least default terminal app is MUCH better.

Super ultra future modern terminal

Nice and all but the integration with basic tools like vim are not that good. I was tolerating that until I tried to copy the content of my selection using the 3rd button of my mouse or the right click, not working ok... Then by mistake realise that you need to right click then shift+insert to have it work... Also a bit heavy on the performance some time.

Software used for 'hacking', privacy, etc.

My Windows Setup

These are all the software I use on my windows machine. I am privacy freak. So, I mostly use open source software. Checkout "My Firefox setup" list for firefox extensions.
