The command prompt looks the same in Windows 8.1 and 10 to me. What terminal are you talking about?

  He might be referring to powershell ... I never use CMD anymore. I first started using it a few years back because it uses 'ls' instead of 'dir' for a directory list. Over time I've learned more and more about how its improved over CMD... and it has gotten even better in windows 10. May not quite be 100% as good as terminal on OSX but it really is very good. Funny annecdote. I was at a clojure meetup last night tapping away on my windows 10 laptop and the developer behind me said "is that Ubuntu?" I told him that it was W10 and he said "wow, I guess I might finally have to admit that windows doesn't look terrible anymore" I felt like that was pretty high praise given the audience.

    Even cmd is much improved in win 10. Text reflow, free zize windows, sane selection, etc. But nothing can make up for the lack of built-in, out-of-the-box UNIX utilities like cat, grep and the works.

      My "workaround" for that is to install git-scm https://git-scm.com/ https://git-scm.com/ and select "yes" at the install Unix tools prompt. I am not certain that it is perfect and you're 100% right that it's not "native" but it might help ease your pain a little.
