One of my favorite features of the LibAdwaita-based GNOME Console, Ptyxis, and the GTK4 versions of GNOME Terminal is that they provide some useful at-a-glance context clues using color. A good example is when a terminal is running as root. The whole topbar will turn red to indicate that the console is root. Also, it turns purple when using SSH or other remote software to indicate that you are operating remotely.
Small details like this go a long way to making the experience feel more intuitive. Furthermore, as every other terminal built using GTK4/LibAdwaita for the front-end has already set an expectation, it does not feel like a native app and more like a port without this feature.
