I know all about the alternative terminals for Windows and none of them are much better. ConEmu feels so hacky and way out of scope for what it's supposed to be doing. Does it still require Administrator, and hook directly into the framebuffer?
You can blame MS for first part. Don't really get what you mean by "out of scope".
But anyway, from my personal point of view, ConeEmu is by far the best console terminal out there (including the Linux ones). It's by far the most customizable one and with some work the result can be pretty amazing.
