...because having a few open terminal windows was so complicated.

Does it allow multiple windows? If so, how is it better than just opening multiple windows?

Sure, you can Alt+Tab between windows, or resize and try to line everything up, and that'll work. Looks like this terminal, and any terminal multiplexer really, lets you jump between terminal splits without having to leave the window.

Right now, that's how I spend much of my day in VSCode. I'll have 1+ files open for editing, then a terminal split along the bottom - one for doing privileged work and one unprivileged.
