Which terminal is best to use for Coding

Answer 1

On Mac, I a fan of iTerm with zsh.

On Windows, I prefer Console2 with GitBash.

Answer 2

@Mickel, I've not used Cmder or Hyper. But I'm not always on a Windows desktop for development.

Answer 3

This question is subjective: it depends on the user and the platform that the user uses. In the same way I do not know if you refer to a terminal emulator or something else.

In any case:

In linux I like to use urxvt, termite or the Gnome terminal. They adapt well to my use of the console and the first two are fun to configure.

On Windows I usually use Cmder. I tried Hyper, and although it looked good it was too heavy and took too long to start, so I went back to Cmder.

Answer 4

Cmder is my favorite mainly because I can configure it to use it in Drop-down mode. I love that. I usually use it with GitBash and some other things (like Chocolatey or Pry (ruby)).

Hyper is basically an application built with web technologies. It has some interesting features (that can be expanded) and it looks great, but it bothers me that it's take much time to start (this is a problem that many applications that use electron have)

PS: I love Zsh. Although I share that love with Fish shell, the only bad thing is that my scripts there are not compatible with Bash.
