The grass is always greener on the other side. Bash is usable, but is a bit of a pain, its scripting facilities are very bad, for anything serious you will probably want to use another scripting language anyway. Most tech looks quite good from a distance, once you really start using it you will most definitely run into issues. That might be one reason a lot of us are always jumping to different tech without getting proficient in anything. Also, unless you live on the Microsoft campus and aren't allowed to leave there are bound to be a lot of options available, maybe you didn't find them or you are too focused on node. You might want to look into Cygwin to get some Unix tools going. Putty is also pretty good. If you need more you can install Ubuntu on virtualbox or any other combination of OS and VM you might prefer. By all means keep pursuing remote node work, but keep an open mind and don't miss out on easy improvements available to you right now.
