Power shell is ok but MS DOS terminal needs an update: it has several limitations about fonts, encoding and missing libs that make it the worst terminal experience imho.

Ah also POSIX compliance could simplify the life of those who develop on Windows. I tryed to develop on Windows for many years, I tryed hard but you are always missing some feature that on Unix is basic.



For the love of... just let me drag it wider than an old vt110 terminal!


That's all done in Windows 10.


Name a feature. I've ported tonnes of POSIX stuff to windows. 99% of it's there and the rest is easily plugged into a bit of win32.

I tend to use PowerShell ISE that is built into windows rather than cmd, which you're right, sucks.
