Windows shell/command prompt? [closed]

shell command-prompt

Yes, the Windows command prompt sucks. It is truly pathetic for 2011.

I use Cygwin+mintty instead.

If you miss Tilda/Guake/Yakuake (for Linux) or TotalTerminal (née Visor) (for OS X) try mintty-quake-console.

Just came across another potential alternative, though I haven't tried it out yet: Gow (Gnu on Windows).

If you want a truly manly command line for Windows, use PowerShell.
