Wanted to know: what shell do you guys use on Windows, considering cmd.exe sucks and PowerShell doesn’t even pass the Doherty Threshold? I myself use Clink with *nix binaries and WSL for what is Linux-only.

question

cmd.exe

shell

cmd

powershell

clink

    Cmder with clink and oh-my-posh; I used to use Mingw and/or Cygwin, but since Git brings along a lot (if not all) of the same tools, I'm sticking with it.

    GitBash for anything basic, then a debian vm for actual work.

    To make cmd useful: Cygwin + gitbash

    If I need a quick linux env: WSL + debian

    Then anything major just run a VM.

    @electrineer wasn't that "windows terminal" sucks because it loads Powershell and the guy didn't know how to use powershell.
