Re: OT: Windows Terminal (this is big!)



XyWrite is not the point. (OT = "off-topic", yes?) I think it's big
news because it's the first upgrade to the Windows command-line user
interface since ... forever? ... and it appears to be a major one. The
command window will be a lot more customizable -- pick your fonts,
colors, etc. -- and run different command shells side-by-side in tabs.
Unicode, too, undoubtedly. And making it open-source is the biggest
news of all.

It's true that most if not all of this is already available in an
environment like ConEmu. It's endlessly customizable -- like XyWrite!
-- and XyWrite under vDosPlus runs very nicely in a tab as an
"attached" application, which is handy at times:
