I am curious what terminal people use on Windows. I find MSYS to be very good, since it lets me work just as I would on Linux with Emacs-style editing.

  I use cygwin with screen (no tmux on windows sadly), vim, and a smattering of grep/sed/awk/etc.

  Cygwin, with mintty and all the trimmings. Or Clink - https://code.google.com/p/clink/ https://code.google.com/p/clink/

    Wow! I didn't know there is readline support for cmd.exe. This is great.

  I'm using Console2 (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Console2ABetterWindowsCommandPrompt.aspx http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Console2ABetterWindowsCommandP...) and Powershell. Not as nice as a real Linux environment, but Console2 has tabs which makes it bearable.

  Besides Console2 mentioned in another comment, there is also ConEmu (https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/ https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/), which incidentally has support for Clink (again mentioned in another comment!) PS: There is also a somewhat extended version of Console2 here by a different author: https://github.com/cbucher/console https://github.com/cbucher/console which I like.
