The new terminal with PowerShell is quite lovely. I recently had to move my work from macOS to Windows and am pretty happy after setting it up like this: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToMakeAPrettyPromptInWindo...

Yeah, lovely. Still, ConEmu is atm far better. If I have to install manually stuff, I will always chose ConEmu until Windows Terminal comes OTB.

You can get similar stuff only in powershell - this is what I use:

It isn't that artistic but functinality is the same without any dependency.

If I just wanted to write long overly verbose code I’d write Java. Bash is great for getting things done quickly.

Agreed on Bash. It was awesome when I first started using it, but the quirky syntax and pain to configure for anything complex really annoyed me. xonsh is a lot nicer, albeit not as featureful.

Did not know Powershell was now cross platform. Never learned it, but everyone I know who knows both Powershell and the usual UNIX shells prefers Powershell.

PowerShell and WSL. Windows has thoroughly redeemed itself after years in the wilderness.

I never needed WSL. Almost all linux tools are already nativelly available.

cmd is the primary reason I switched from PC to Mac.

ConEmu makes any Windows terminal app far less frustrating
