>> Have you tried the Windows Subsystem for Linux? You might be able to get by without a separate Linux install.

I have been meaning to Subsystem for Linux that since they announced it, but Cmder (Conemu) has been so working well for me that I have gotten too complacent to even try it. Cmder was the one thing for me when I switched to Mac that truly made the transition painless -- I thought I would hate not having OSX Terminal. I don't do super advanced unix shell stuff, and it was just perfect.

You can run WSL inside Conemu.

Yes, but Conemu already provides access to a lot of unix-y tools.

If your needs are already being met, it's sometimes hard to make time to play with something that does the same.
