Makes sense, but weirdly I did not follow that route. I started on Unix, then learned about DOS, did not use it much, but I did switch my Unix prompt to use '> ', because I liked it better. The default '$' has too much visual clutter for me. BUT, when I post snippets of shell commands on the web, I use '$ ' because most people are familiar with it.
