Are We Sixel Yet
It would allow portable graphics applications on the terminal, e.g. this C64-emulator-in-Docker only renders ASCII characters, but could be extended with sixels to render graphics (I actually tinkered with this, but didn't get far because most terminals have either none or too slow sixels support):

Windows Terminal is great and an enormous improvement over conhost. That said, cmd itself isn't any better unless you extend it with something like Oh My Posh and clink. Add GNU CoreUtils to your path if (like me) your muscle memory is to use ls and rm over dir and del.

My Development Setup
Moving on to software, we have the Windows Terminal. I used ConEmu with Powershell until I found Windows Terminal easier to use. And after enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux on my PC, I use it with Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. I replaced bash with Z shell, and with the plugin oh-my-zsh, it's easy to make command-line magic.
