Windows Terminal is getting updates:

• Microsoft releases Windows Terminal Preview 1.1 and it's packed with new features
  betanews.com/2020/06/19/microsoft-windows-terminal-preview-1-1/

I like mintty the most because it's lightweight, but I need tab support and I'm not keyboard-savvy enough to use tmux. So for now, I've stuck with ConEmu because of tabs and because it's ultra customizable.

Windows Terminal is looking good, but there's stll some ways to go before I'm ready to switch to that.
