Fun to play with, but needs work to be really useful

Cathode is visually stunning, with a wide range of options to let you customize your terminal experience to exactly the way your twelve your old self remembers it. Everyone I know who sees it reacts with glee to the memories it brings.

I’d love to use it as my main terminal emulator, but it’s got some issues that make doing that difficult. Screen clearning is clunky, and your often left with artefacts and random text that wasn’t cleared properly by the terminal when connecting to SSH. Many advanced features are missing, such as log output and tabbing.

Still, it’s fun to use and the visuals are stunning. All you need is a IBM mechanical keyboard and your all set for a trip down memory lane.
