I actually have a few different setups on my various Windows computers, just to test things. And they are all pretty much equivalent, the only difference is the console I use (Cmder, msysgit, etc...). The main take aways: - I share all my dot files (.bash_profile, etc...) between Windows and Mac OS. They are in a Google Drive folder and whenever I move to a new machine, I just copy them all verbatim and they work right away. - Bash, git and ssh work out of the box on these Windows/UNIX shells. I agree with the colors, fonts and the copy/paste interaction on Windows. Not great, but tolerable. I want to experiment with more consoles since there are so many to choose from on Windows. Oh and Cmder has transparency and you can configure copy/paste to be by line instead of by block, at least.
