    Hey now, as someone who works in a 100% Microsoft shop, WSL2 and the Windows Terminal are the only things keeping me sane. Please MS, keep pandering.

      Absolutely love the new Terminal app - anyone having to work on windows machines knows much value it finally adds over the ancient cmd/pwshell.

      This is one of the core apps I install on any windows rig now

        Being very familiar with bash/zsh etc, and somewhat forced to use Windows, I’ve tried to learn use PowerShell. My impression is basically, what? Why would I do this? The design is intriguing but the verbosity is awful.

          It is not meant just for powershell; it combines all the shells on windows plus support of fit, bash/zsh in WSL.

          I use Linux daily for development and a MacBook for a laptop; having to go from extensive terminals back to shitty blue windows was painful.

          The new Terminal has been the best addition MS has added to windows in a long while.

            Sure, I gather that the topic is something other than regular PowerShell. This is actually the first I’ve heard of it. I’ll check it out, thanks!

      I second this. WSL and windows terminal are both part of my daily toolbox and I love them both dearly.
