Personally I like the current behavior.
I use vim's :terminal to run a couple of web servers (a Python one for a
web app backend, and a Node.js one for the app's frontend). These
autorestart when the source code on disk changes, but sometimes (e.g. when I
save a file during an unfinished refactoring) one of the servers
crashes. I like being able to see the error and to restart the command
in the same terminal window, for which I use a little user-defined
command:
command! TermRestart exec 'term ++curwin' expand("%")[1:]
Maybe an option would be better? Then people to select which one they
prefer in their vimrc, and they wouldn't have to repeat their preference
on every :terminal command?
