For many old-school developers, the terminal is where it's at — you'd have to pry it from their cold, dead fingers.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

The New Stack

The post explores five top terminal applications suited for development, highlighting their unique features and benefits. The discussed terminals include Warp, a modern terminal with built-in AI and advanced features; Windsurf, an 'agentic IDE' offering code suggestion and completions; Terminator, a popular multi-paned terminal with extensive customization options; Guake, a convenient, summonable terminal; and Contour, a straightforward terminal with powerful emulation capabilities. All these tools are available on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Best Terminal Applications for Development

I really like warp, but not enough to pay a monthly subscription. No app should charge a monthly subscription unless it’s running from a remote server.

Windsurf?
Since when is Windsurf a terminal?
Windsurf is the same as vscode / cursor
is a fork of vscode with an AI Agent, just like cursor
not really a terminal at all, not even close

Warp is literally a game-changer. Thanks for sharing the information
