Sorry if this posted twice. Actually hit the post button around 1500, but when I came back to the tab, it was hung. At any rate...
Given your "prefer the UNIX-like environment" statement, I'll assume you mean "terminal program for Windows". In which case:
PuTTY: it's the option that combines good capabilities, "least-annoying" and fairly light weight.
MobaXterm's decent (especially for when you need X redirection but don't want to have to think about it), but, it intercepts some key-combos that have some REALLY annoying results.
Git-Bash is ok, but it's a bit too stripped down of a Cygwin implementation.
Prior to Windows 10's WSL, I'd have included Cygwin/X. It's primary downfall is that it's a heavy solution.
Speaking of Windows 10/WSL: if I don't need X redirection, firing up the WSL Ubuntu app is probably the least-painless, most fully-functional option for a "UNIX-like environment to either work in or jump out from".

Yup, you got me right 😉
I see some lesser know options here, def would need to take a deeper dive on these, thanks 👍
