    Comments about ConEmu as an Alternative to WezTerm

    If you want a fast, configurable but not mind-bendingly complicated and dysfunctional terminal like ConEmu and Cmder, give WezTerm a shot.

    WezTerm is way more modern than ConEmu/Cmder. Use it if you want to stay up-to-date with Unicode, features like hyperlinks, ANSI escape code formatting, etc.
