Windows terminal is ridiculously slow and buggy still. I mean it's orders of magnitude slower than a decent terminal from 15 years ago - a simple cat of a file that scrolls for 100 screen heights will take a fraction of a second on a conventional terminal and 30 seconds or more on Windows Terminal. That kind of update rate makes everything laggy and annoying.

Also... also it crashes a lot and has a lot of half-written features.

I know it's "alpha", but kids make terminals for a laugh in a weekend that are better than WSL's.
