What's your favorite terminal emulator?

On Linux I prefer xterm, because of its bottomless config options all through a really nice xrdb -merge command.

On a Mac I prefer iterm2, again for its galaxy of config options and features.

On Windows, I just use putty or mobaxterm to ssh to a real operating system. :)

How about you?

    Windows now has a built in ssh client and server.

    And on windows I use powershell where you can pipe instantiated objects between arguments ;)

    The time when windows only had the old dos like terminal is long gone.

    Windows and Powershell are great for dealing with Windows. The cathedral is good at dealing with the cathedral. I prefer the bazaar though. I'd rather have interoperability than a wall.

    @bahua well with the linux subsystem you can run bash and even some linux application directly in windows.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/...

    And if you use .net core to build your program it can compile to windows, linux or mac with no changes.

    Same here, the old walled garden is also a thing of the past.

    xst. Was using st before I discovered it and now I don't have to recompile it anymore. Even better, it lets me switch my colour scheme on the go

    I'll check it out, I have background colors assigned to keys on urxvt, always useful because I'm connected to multiple servers, vms and chroots simultaneously

    @f7u12 The best out there, coupled with Oh My Zshell.
