On a Mac, Terminal ships built-in with sensible defaults. It's easy to launch on any computer, and I often use it from other people's systems. Same with Linux/Ubuntu. Windows, however, now ships with ps.exe, but it's not the same as conemu, console2, obviously, which is why you choose to use them. My only objection is that while Chocolate makes it easier to install them to your own system, so few people do that it becomes harder to use them when you know you'll miss them on other people's systems. I tend to stick to console for when I know commands will work cross-platform.
Really though, it's just the shame that Microsoft hasn't improved their Terminal app in over 16 years at a rough guess, from a functionality standpoint. That's just ... that makes no sense. Not when they're doing so much more to encourage sysadmins to use their command prompts and PowerShell. For a company that can make such great IDEs and OSes, why can't they combine both into a masterful shell window?
