Pretty much anyone I know on a Mac uses iTerm, which is definitely more capable than the Windows 10 command prompt.

In what specific ways? It seems way more intuitive to me and powerful enough for any task that it's not worth bringing a language like Python/Ruby/Go etc. for.

Usually, grep itself is powerful enough to do what you want on its own, you only pipe grep if you do not know grep well enough.
