It wasn't just the command line. There were problems with Windows that made some things nigh on impossible; especially in relation to node: IIRC there were limitations to path lengths and deeply nested dependency trees that broke things badly. There was also the infamous node-gyp problem: github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/629

I moved to Linux exactly because of these issues...
