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.

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

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.
