Hello Iñaki,

For one, the underlying vte(TerminalCtrl) is much more powerful (in terms of vt compatibility and recognized escape sequences, including mouse i/o). This is especially important if you are using WSL or working on a remote connection to linux machines, where many console applications expoit the VT sequences. Bobcat is basically like having a modernized xterm on Windows (as you might already know, TerminalCtrl has a very high score on that -xterm & DEC/ANSI- compatibility scale.)

Unlike Windows Terminal (AFAIK), it can also run on Windows 7 & 8, if the latest U++ still can (didn't try to run it on Win < 10 since the end of 2022).

It has a much smaller memory footprint.

But let's change the question a little bit: What would you like to see implemented?

I am open to suggestions and feature requests.

In the meantime, I am going to add an Upp::Esc (not to be confused wiht ESC sequences) based macro system (for automation) and a "lite" plugin system for expansion.

Also when I finalize the first release of Bobcat, I am going to publish its sibling: Tomcat (a dedicated SSH terminal, which will have a virtually identical UI & interchangeable profiles etc.).

Best regards,
