Whilst I am glad to hear about ConEmu; I have to disagree, I use windows cmd.exe very regularly, and know lots of other people that do, and I have never used ConEmu before! I might give it a try now I know about it.

Cmder is a good configuration bundle for ConEmu and a better place for new users to start.

Cmder seems cool but it's ConEmu + Clink + git for windows.

- Clink is for cmd what PSReadline is for posh.

- posh-git does what git for windows does (I personally don't like git info in my prompt, so use neither, and have a custom, Unixy-one)

ConEmu si really nice simply because you can have tabs, split pane and good color schemes. 've never gotten to the level that some people need, so ConEmu + bash = everything I was using on OSX.

I highly recommend ConEmu, I've used it for awhile.

con emu makes the linix subsystem shell a lot nicer too, in fact has an inbuilt ubuntu theme that makes most colors sane
