Quite a few people have brought this to my attention, and it is unfortunately, a confusingly named project. I was unaware of the other project and will probably consider renaming my project if it gets funded. Thanks for pointing this out though.

Kickstarter doesn't let you change your rewards after others have already pledged, but I am going to find a way to ensure that all reward levels will be offered enough licenses to average $10/license.

I mention ConEmu in the Kickstarter post. It is an excellent alternative. As for using WPF for a CLI, I think it adds some useful features. At the end of the day, a tool either makes your life easier and you more productive, or it doesn't. I think this tool can add a lot of value.

Thanks for all the ideas. The prototype is very buggy. I mostly wanted people to get a feel for the vision. I really like your feature suggestions and will definitely take them into consideration.

A lot of Windows users (like myself) are somewhat committed to tools like Powershell in addition to Cygwin. I currently keep both Git Bash and Powershell open so I can switch back and forth as needed. Wish allows me to switch between these seemlessly with a common set of features across both.

Thanks for the feedback. The UI is a bit of a hack for the prototype and will be a more proper control for release. Emacs and vim keybindings are on my feature list. I think Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N work for command history in the prototype, but don't quote me on that.
