- Bash terminal in WSL is very limited in color support, no tabs. use ConEmu or X11 + Terminator - Due to lack of good color support, themes like Airline dont render well - Could never get ssh-agent to work fine, that literally sucks FWIW:

Coming from a Mac, it still did not gave me the UX that I was used. Everything seems to be patched on.

Due to KB issues, at this new job, I bit the bullet and tried to move to Win + WSL. Unfortunately, did not work out for me and I am going back to Mac (new 2018 ones).

Re. Color: Not true - Windows Console supports 16M 25-bit RGB colors since Creators Update (build 1703): https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2016/09/22/24-b...

That said, yes, the Console cannot currently support font-fallback and thus cannot display glyphs that are not present in your currently selected font. We are, however, working on fixing this in an up-coming OS release.

Bear with us - lots of exciting things afoot with the Windows Console.
