If you’re on Windows, I would recommend installing Cygwin to bring the power of a real shell to your OS. _yawns_ Can we please get past statements like these?

The next step is releasing a decent terminal program for Windows. The standard console app on windows pales in comparison to those available on Gnome, KDE, and OS X based desktops. Copy and paste is difficult, resizing never seems to work right, and it has terrible font rendering. The reason many people don't know to much about PowerShell is that cmd.exe is still the default windows shell, even after 25 years. PowerShell has been around for 4 of those, and only in the last two years did it start shipping by default with a Microsoft OS.

  The next step is releasing a decent terminal program for Windows. You're absolutely correct. You're absolutly correct. I know that I'd pay $30 for a decent terminal program. I live in ipython / PowerShell. I want things like tabs, syntax coloring, copy / paste, automatic hyperlink generation for urls and file links.
