I guess that it's a matter of perspective. Personally, I find the Windows/DOS 
shell to be completely unusable and use git-bash when I'm forced to use 
Windows. Windows definitely has some things going for it (e.g. its graphics 
engine creams the horror that is X.org IMHO), but on the whole, I find that 
Linux is just way better for a power user like myself. Windows doesn't even 
come close to cutting it.
