I have pretty much all of those tools on windows and all I needed to do was install Git for Windows, which is super easy.
It was a bit more work to set ansicon + Console2/ConsoleZ (although cmder might be an easier option), but now I can use standard bash scripts and do most of what I need easy.
In addition, this process was a one time deal. It's not like you have to set it up each time you want to ssh somewhere.
Why do I really use windows (vs some linux, I have no interest in Mac)?
Play most games (not on Mac or Linux)
Anything else that cygwin can't get me, I have Vagrant and VirtualBox.
Windows isn't that bad.
- jinushaun 11y agoGit and Console2 are the first things I install after Chrome on Windows, but Git Bash only gets you so far. You quickly run into a wall because Git Bash is not Unix. Although my opinion of OSX has soured with each new unstable version, it's hard to give up the Unix underpinning + mainstream app combo (Office and Creative Suite). PowerShell with Unix aliases aren't the same.
