Are you talking about the console, or the shell (and ecosystem)?
The linux shells are a lot easier to use than cmd.exe for
the most point, but programming is another story.

Windows console is like something from the 80's.

Linux terminals is like ten incompatible things, all
from the 70's. A lot of nonsense you have to worry
about - character encoding for input and output, the
escape sequences, again in and out (ever use a linux
terminal where your arrow keys didn't work? Ever have
to press escape twice? This sucks for programming and using.)

Huge pain in the butt.
