A comment on Babun: a Windows shell.

I find Babun slightly laggy on my system, so my go to tool is Msys2 https://msys2.github.io/

Msys2 is a fork of Cygwin, it does not do away with POSIX emulation, but I find its package management better than Cygwin's. Quite a few packages are supported

Its package management is much better, since it uses pacman, although sometimes finding the right package is difficult.

+1 for MSYS2 because of pacman package manager. also Git for Windows is using MSYS2
