I’ve heard Hyper is a good one. Never tried it because I’m on Mac and there’s iTerm 2 which is just awesome especially combined with oh-my-zsh and a custom theme 😊
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
My experience of Hyper was that it was about an order of magnitude slower than iTerm2. That was about a year ago and it might have improved, but I think it's likely to be just as slow.
When I say slow, I mean that doing something like an ls -R, you can watch the screen updates ripple down as it moves one line up at a time.
Hyper looks fancy, but the performance is quite bad, especially on the corporate machines with firewalls, proxies and other limitations users have by default. I can recommend Babun, it is upgraded Cygwin terminal with some nice out of the box features (zsh, oh-my-zsh, python, pre-configured .zshrc and .bashrc etc.). However oit can also be quite slow, especially in the corp environment where you have many limitations and sometimes you cannot even get admin rights. So far my best experience was with Cmder + Chocolatey package manager + some extra downloaded GNU utilities like curl, xmllint, windows version of vim and other things.
