After give Hyper a try, i'm surprised how easily i attached to it. Sure, compared to other traditional terminal emulator, hyper consumes much more resource and not that faster. But personally, some little things like animations make me more comfortable spend my time typing on this terminal emulator.
This time Hyper wouldn't be a replacement to native terminal emulators, it would be just a fun refreshment. But as more people contributing and develop plugins for Hyper, well there would be a brighter future for Hyper.
