Too bad your comment doesn't jive with reality. (There are *more*
Windows developers than Unix developers.)

I don't know why I'm arguing with someone who clearly doesn't know
what they're talking about in any case, and confuses shells and
terminals as you did. Talk to me again when you've got a clue about
the relative power of each. (The only thing that I regularly miss at
cmd.exe is command completion instead of just file/directory
completion. But I get over that easily.)
