Very much disagreeing with the putty comment, otherwise it's spot on (for the things I care about).
It's not that putty is better than using ssh in my terminal of choice on Linux, it's more that it has the only decent terminal implementation on Windows that I know of. I am a daily user of Linux and Windows and the copy/paste workflow in cmd.exe and powershell is just broken for me, in putty it's reliable enough that I am fine.
The only way I can stomach development on Windows is a) VS Code + Remote extension and have a terminal in VS Code open and before that worked b) QtCreator for C++ or anything Javabased where I simply don't need a CLI. Well ok, I still need a CLI for git, but not the usual stuff. I am a heave user of cut/sed/awk/grep etc.
