The first time I ever saw it, the text already looked better than cmd.exe via conhost.

cmd.exe looks worse to me. Particularly because of the lack of padding on the left.

I find the Terminal more readable because the white seems brighter in your screenshots

The color is configurable for both.

Looks like you’ve gone for something like the classic text mode 80x25?

Unfortunately the person who owns putty.org started to use it to spread misinformation about vaccines and the pandemic, as you can see on the site today. This recently [1][2] got a lot of attention on the web and here on HN, along with a post on Mastodon from the author [3] I imagine trying to disincentivize this and provide another shorter more official looking link is the hope here.

I see no mention in this thread of KiTTY https://www.9bis.net/kitty/ >, no one uses this instead of PuTTY?

I used to. Being able to store all my configs in simple text files that I could easily move from machine to machine was the killer feature for me.
