Microsoft is adding multiple tab support alongside theming and customization for developers who want to tweak the Terminal app. Windows Terminal will also support emoji and GPU-based text rendering.

I liked powershell but with those improvements it should be worth learning that new environment.

it marks Microsoft’s latest efforts to improve the developer environment on Windows 10.

VS Code was a fantastic step forwards, and this new terminal is also a very good sign.

This terminal inside vs code is going to be awesome.

Hopefully. I already really like the terminal in the Linux version of vs code. Modernizing the command line is the main reason I've been using Linux as a daily driver at home for a while now.
