One thing I've always missed is tabbed consoles. I've use Cmder (http://cmder.net/ I have no affiliation) for quite a while now and has been totally awesome as it provides a tabbed container window with any mixture of cmd.exe, bash shell, launching as Admin and best of all it persists all your windows after reboot.

Trust us, the pain on not having a tabbed console is felt here in the console team too. It's our most requested feature, but implementing it has always ended up a lot harder than expected. Fortunately we're working with the Tabbed Sets team to help nail that experience for the console.

Hi - Windows Console PM and author of the Command-Line posts here.

We hear ya. Tabs are VERY high up our to-do list, but to get there, we had a TON of internal engineering and modernization to do to wrangle the ~30 year old codebase into a shape where we could efficiently and effectively work on UX features.

We're now nearing the completion of the core re-engineering effort and will start to turn to more UX-visible features in the next few releases.

Bear with us - TONS of exciting stuff coming soon!

Another Cmder lover here. Although when the Windows 10 "Sets" UI comes out and default Powershell/conhost has tabs built in, it may be time to just stick with that. We'll see...

Pretty unhappy Cmder user here.

Sooo many bugs. Currently have dash.exe crashes on start-up, fatal race conditions generating certain types of error output, performance becomes unusable in git folders with lots of files because of how it updates the auto-text in the prompt and it has the configuration/settings from hell but they just blame ConEmu.

I just want a tabbed console that will remember the tab locations and command history between sessions. This would seem obvious thing but no.
