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.
