I thought this was the Rust HTTP client/server [1]. I've never heard of this. When two notable projects share the same name, it's confusing. One of these projects should consider rebranding. [1] https://hyper.rs
I don't think there's all that much overlap between people who use Rust and people who think a terminal written in javascript is a good idea.
I just don't understand the use case here. It's an Electron-based terminal... that has a thousand pretty themes, but lacks basic functionality like being able to expand your scroll buffer. It's just not usable as a daily driver. I'm not trying to hate on Electron (VS Code is my main editor now, and I enjoy it). But I just don't see the point here other than, " Look what they wrote with Electron! ". Is it the "social"…
This heap of _shit_ software serves two primary purposes 1. Making bad developers feel good about their terrible development skills by letting them jerk-off their terminal theme instead of doing any real actual work, and 2. Contributes to global warming by chewing through world-wide power in levels that are completely unnecessary and should be avoided at all costs. I would rather _gouge my eyes out with a blunt spoon…
Regardless of whether or not the app makes sense or should be used, (I am not a fan of it), the rhetoric you are using is childish and immature. You can voice dislike without being an asshole about it.

Windows Terminal was just released yesterday, which might be a good option for you. It's even open source: https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal
Unfortunately that terminal requires an insider's version of Windows to run. Enabling insiders means MS will track a bunch of data about you besides anonymous metrics and you can't opt out of it because insiders requests that info. WSL v2 and / or that terminal sounds good but it may not be until Oct 2019 or Apr 2020 before the stable Windows channel sees it. They tend to release 2 major updates a year and if WSL v2…
As much as Microsoft tries to change it still remains the same...
So much for developers.
"New Blazing Fast WebGL Engine". Wow really? Major changes - "Emoji support". For fucks sake, seriously? Am I the only one that doesn't want anything of the following _bull shit_? * A terminal emulator that is dependent on an entire web browser (not to mention the layers upon layers of bullshit abstractions all to run something from the 70s). * Support for "emojis" (I mean, come on. It's a _damn terminal_). * To exec…

Terminal.app is still going to by my go-to terminal

Like it or not: in the era of Unicode, emoji's are plaintext.
If you are a developer and using hyper, what language do you work with the most?

Voicing dislike with brutal honesty is far more effective. And it's the truth. Why should the truth be watered down? Just to make a few sensitive people feel better? That's not reality. As far as I'm concerned, that is fraud.
And contrary to what you seem to think, if you don't like the product don't use it, and better yet don't comment on it as you aren't helping anyone.
* Linux:
# Tilix - probably the best option in terms of performance, customization, looks and features.

# Extraterm - in my experience the best electron-based terminal emulator in terms of performance. It has some neat features too. I catch myself using it more often than Tilix.

* Windows:
# CMDer - pretty much the only option. Has everything one needs, even built in bash on Windows. Useful on Windows 7 PCs at work that don't have WSL or admin rights to install more stuff.

* MacOS
# Plain old built in terminal is actually nice ;)
# Extraterm is alright too, but it's electron based and the old mac-mini does not really like it.
# iTerm 2 - never got around to fully configuring it, but everyone swears by it.
