Why Modern Software Is Slow
> licensing it so that they couldn’t even look at it
https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/blob/main/LICENSE
It’s just GPL 2.0, what are you talking about!?
Are Microsoft employees vampires that will burn up instantly if they merely glance at GPL code or something?
This is sour grapes nonsense from Microsoft. “We don’t like your tone so we won’t even dignify your argument by considering it.”
At one point an MS employee said they would love to fix their code as suggested by Casey but he refused to even look at the YouTube video!
“I would love to hear your arguments but I refuse to listen to the sound of your voice.” is next-level dismissive.

How can I create a rogue engine from scratch without curses?
Casey Muratori made a renderer/terminal a short while back. Might be a good reference of you intend to go that route. https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

Microsoft insults dev then takes credit for their idea
You keep complaining that it's not a fully working terminal. Casey, on the other hand, writes here: [1]
> These features are not designed to be comprehensive, since this is only meant to be a reference renderer, not a complete terminal.

- Terminal: A Unified Platform for Windows Terminal and Console Host

Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel
Some parts already have been open-sourced. For example, the console host component has been open sourced here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal
And the FAT filesystem driver: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/mai...
Maybe they could consider an Apple-style approach: open source the core of the kernel and text-mode user space but leave the GUI closed.
Of course, open sourcing everything would be even better, but that might too big of a step for them. Open sourcing the non-GUI core could be a good initial step, whether or not it ends up going further.

State of the Terminal
A quick off-the-cuff remark based solely on the title: in 2024, I think the state of the terminal has never been better, in large part to Microsoft making a high quality terminal easily available to everyone on Windows [1]
As an application author, I love being able to assume that all major platforms have a good terminal and that my favorite terminal rendering libraries should Just Work on all of them
