cmd.exe on Windows - trully horrible shell.
bash on *nix - less horrible then cmd.exe but still trurlly horrible anyway.
I want to kill myself any time I enter any of those. PowerShell cross platform made all my cells rejoice.
- PopeDotNinja 6y agocmd is the primary reason I switched from PC to Mac.
- sandyarmstrong 6y agoThe 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/HowToMakeAPrettyPromptInWindowsTerminalWithPowerlineNerdFontsCascadiaCodeWSLAndOhmyposh.aspx https://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToMakeAPrettyPromptInWindo...
- majkinetor 6y agoYeah, 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: https://github.com/majkinetor/powershell_profile.d/blob/master/10_prompt.ps1 https://github.com/majkinetor/powershell_profile.d/blob/mast... It isn't that artistic but functinality is the same without any dependency.
- mr_toad 6y agoIf I just wanted to write long overly verbose code I’d write Java. Bash is great for getting things done quickly.

- majkinetor 6y agoI never needed WSL. Almost all linux tools are already nativelly available.
- listenallyall 6y agoConEmu makes any Windows terminal app far less frustrating
- BeetleB 6y agoAgreed 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.
