Babun is a great tool for developers who need to work in multiple environments. It provides a single, unified place to manage multiple shells, applications, and configurations. The integration with git is a huge plus, and the ability to easily switch between shells makes it an ideal tool for developers who need to quickly switch between different environments. The drag and drop feature for loading files into the terminal is also a nice touch. The only downside is that it can be slow to load, but once it's running, it's very reliable and easy to use. The command-line interface is easy to navigate, and the documentation is comprehensive and up to date. Overall, Babun is a great tool for developers who need to work in multiple environments.
