I have been using MobaXterm for a while on Windows. I don't see it mentioned very often in lists like this. It could probably fall under multiple headings in this list.

I went through so many terminal emulators on Windows, looking for one that could handle SSHing to a Linux box and running tmux/vim/irssi inside the session; MobaXterm was the only one I could find that could handle it. It's a shame it isn't free software, but I can't find any free software on Windows that does curses GUIs correctly.


I use to use Moba and on the paid product to boot. It was the best, but it was very, very bloated and they did a fair number of annoying things related to UI.

I have since stopped using Moba and just use Windows Subsystem for Linux... there are still too many annoyances because of the Windows console host stuff; even using tools like ConEmu still fall victim to the issues and introduce their own cruft to deal with. Still, I find the overall experience just more seamless and the least annoying of the options I've tried so far including Moba.


I was so happy to find Moba after my MacBook took a dive all I have now is a Win10 laptop. I'm pretty sure I'll survive for travel now, Moba really gets the job done!


Even though this is titled as PowerShell for Mac and Linux, one of the presenters is Jeffrey Snover who invented PowerShell. He provides some great information about how the pipeline works and compares it to the pipe system in Unix. I found it very informative.
