The first time I ever saw it, the text already looked better than cmd.exe via conhost.

Something wrong with my eyes? Doesn't cmd.exe look smoother in this screenshot?

I agree. In those screenshots cmd looks better. Not sure what's up.

It's the lack of subpixel anti-aliasing (aka ClearType). For some reason it's being erased from a lot of modern software. It's why Windows >= 8 UWP apps and GNOME look so blurry.

It's just another example of why developers shouldn't be given the fanciest tech available (in this case: high DPI screens) so that they have to experience how actual users see their software.

Looks like you’ve gone for something like the classic text mode 80x25?

More Perfect DOS with a CRT filter, to remind me of my handmedown MS DOS/Win95 PC from elementary school.

I find the Terminal more readable because the white seems brighter in your screenshots

The color is configurable for both.

Terminal looks far better.

cmd.exe looks worse to me. Particularly because of the lack of padding on the left.

cmd looks pixelated.
