Windows Terminal Vs Command Prompt Explained
The biggest difference between Windows Terminal and Command Prompt is that Windows Terminal is a terminal host and Command Prompt is a command line shell.
A command line shell or application gives you a more direct way to tell the operating system what to do. You can use it to execute more specific commands.
Windows PowerShell, Mac Terminal, Windows Subsystem Terminal (WSL) and the Command Prompt itself are all examples of command line shell applications.
Windows Terminal is a Terminal Host, which makes it possible for you to run multiple supported command line shells. In Windows Terminal, for example, you can have a tab opened for Command Prompt, Windows PowerShell and even WSL.
Windows Terminal is better than Command Prompt for two reasons
1. It provides more customizations and themes.
2. The default command line shell is PowerShell, which is more powerful than Command Prompt.
3. Windows Terminal may be more reliable, since Microsoft is focusing more on it and Windows PowerShell, while making Command Prompt a legacy command line shell
