It just never really worked well for me in a multi-monitor setup with two screens and a docking station... Now, Windows itself is quite terrible with this and often moves windows between screens for no reason. For example, when primary screen takes a second longer to come back from sleep, all windows float to secondary one, at least that is what I guess is happening.

Now, with ConEmu, that also caused some rendering defects and I would have to hide/show window and sometimes reopen tabs to get it to work again. If I understand correctly, ConEmu does some sort of off screen rendering hack with conhost and then just synchronizes the bitmap to where its real window is. Though I may be completely wrong and that is not how it really works. But these issues have never occurred with WT.

Otherwise, I had nothing to complain about with ConEmu, especially its UAC handling is awesome. Unless we could have proper sudo on Windows, of course. That would be even better UX :)
