cmd.exe
Yes really! I prefer its for loops over those of bash: filenames with spaces are no problem . I prefer they way it assembles environment variables: it is easy to put quotes and spaces in them. Tab completion is better: again filenames with spaces plus looping through matches (which I have just discovered bash can do too).
A set of unix/GNU tools does improve it further. I'm just sorry that it costs so much money.
- jfaucett 14y agois this a joke? I think it is. But anyway, cmd.exe is, to put it mildly, crap compared to any other shell. When were filenames with spaces ever a good idea? try writing your own server with cmd.exe (bash can do it in 164 lines see: https://github.com/sayanriju/Tiny-Bash-Server/blob/master/usr/bin/tinybashserver https://github.com/sayanriju/Tiny-Bash-Server/blob/master/us... ).
