My experience with a Pixel 6:

+ Doesn't have the same compatibility issues Termux has, so I can install things like bun.js and npm packages with native bindings (e.g. database connectors)

- Can't edit text selection, which makes it difficult to copy text

- Can't paste text

- Frequently restarts and loses all progress while switching apps

I can't say much about the battery because I just haven't used it enough to tell the difference. Honestly, with all these major flaws, I usually end up just using Termux.

I hope they fix these glaring flaws soon, IMO they're a lot more urgent to get devs to actually use this than GUI support.

Nitpick: also, a more distinctive name would be nice. Right now, it's basically impossible to search for solutions to Android Terminal issues
