Cmder vs ConEmu: What are the differences?

Developers describe Cmder as "Portable console emulator for Windows". It is a software package created out of pure frustration over the absence of nice console emulators on Windows. It is based on amazing software, and spiced up with the Monokai color scheme and a custom prompt layout. On the other hand, ConEmu is detailed as "A free and open-source tabbed terminal emulator for Windows". It aims to be handy, comprehensive, fast and reliable terminal window where you may host any console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash).

Cmder and ConEmu belong to "Terminal Emulators" category of the tech stack.
