I evaluated and shared my impressions of ConEmu, cmder, Console2, and mintty a few months back here https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/7267#issuecomment-47131696. The last libuv bugs that were causing trouble with mintty have been fixed since then. People who want to use ConEmu can of course, but there were enough performance issues and godawful default configurations that Isaiah and I were not fans of using it by default.
