Thanks for the article, took some tipps from it like ... for a terminal other than cmder.

Recently I tried to setup a decent dev environment on Windows 10 myself and you really share my sentiments.

I do think the movement at Microsoft is pretty cool and it's amazing what they did so far, but there really is a lot to do. One of the things is, on a MacOS system I do not have to enable magic windows features, after that install something from a ui application, find or decent terminal emulator or use the real awful included one and afterwards type bash ... to get a working shell.

In MacOS I just open a terminal and even if some might find iTerm2 to be better - the included one is already quiet decent.

But there is a lot more where it lacks behind IMHO.
