Why are you making the transition? I’ve tried it, and ended up back on MacOS for a few reasons. If you are joining a team that is using Windows extensively, you’ll find it easier than if you are trying to switch to Windows in a dev team that’s all Mac/Linux.
There is a decent Linux subsystem on Windows 10 now: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10. It’s continued to improve and has pretty good interop with Windows at this point.
After trying too many different terminal emulators, I ended up really liking ConEmu: https://conemu.github.io https://conemu.github.io. This had much of the same functionality as iTerm and looked good.
The lack of a good ssh client was annoying though. Having to go back and open putty to ssh into a remote server was really painful when I want to complete everything right in the terminal. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve seen that Microsoft might have started including ssh in Windows 10 builds recently, which would be super nice.
