In before the JavaScript gripes begin. How about we skip the Electron whinging this time?

I haven't switched to Hyper because I have found it a bit pokey and that doesn't work for me, but I'll still give this one a try. I'm curious to hear about any interesting reasons other people _have_ chosen Hyper, or particularly cool things it enables by being built on web technologies. Anybody?

Update: Hyper 3 feels super-fast. Startup and new tabs are somewhat sluggish still but actual rendering responsiveness seems real nice.

Same, I try it every few months to see if its tmux support has improved. So far no luck!

I actually really like the way it's configure/managed, the whole `hyper install foo` is pretty nice.

Command prompt on Windows is pretty fast but Git Bash is still unusably slow. I guess I'll try again next major release.

I have been using Cmder on Windows for a while, but Hyper has also looked really good.

With the announcement of the new Windows Terminal, I wonder if these projects will become irrelevant. The only reason I use Cmder is for tabs, and once I have Windows Terminal with that feature, I doubt I would ever use Cmder or Hyper.

Honestly speaking, I started using Hyper again this week after 3.0.0 came out, and I like it a lot.

I'm not really sure if there's any actual benefit to using it as opposed to the regular Mac terminal, but the colors are bit easier on my eyes at night.

The only thing I'm missing is the ability to move tabs around.

why not use iTerm if on OS X?

I have a feeling that it's used to farm hate (as karma or "acceptance"). In a less accusatory way, let me say, I think that people really like to see that other people share their hate. This is just my gut feeling though, as I don't share their passionate hate,even though I don't "love" electron.
