The things that drive me crazy about cmd.exe, and the reason I'd  
personally be looking for a replacement, are:
   * Ridiculously hard to copy/paste
   * Inability to resize the number of columns on the fly

The block selection is sometimes convenient and the command history  
and path completion aren't substandard, but those are about the best  
things I can say about it.
