You forgot the great and updated CMD where you can finally select and copy properly ;)

and Environment Variables / PATH entries are now added as rows on a table, instead of appending to a super long string and trying to remember whether or not to put a slash and or a semi-colon at the end

The default terminals have improved significantly since Windows 7 for sure, but it still hasn't evolved into something that I genuinely enjoy using yet, at least compared to some of the other, much better terminals out there (missing tabs, splitting, extensibility, etc), so I'm hesitant to include that on my list.

You can make Powershell your default now, iirc. Also, have you tried the Win+X power user's menu?

I'm actually frustrated by it. I like the fact that I can finally CTR-C/CTR-V into the cmd line. But I spend my time interrupting scripts by just clicking on the cmd windows. It triggers the selection tool which blocks the script (this is mostly W10/WS2016 through RDP, I don't use windows 10 on laptops).

You know you can just untick the checkbox that's enabling this feature on the window properties.

Honestly, I prefer the old rectangular-selections because it's great for copying individual columns of output from `dir`, for example.

In many applications you can Alt+drag to select vertically.
