A comment on Microsoft Adds an OpenSSH Client to Windows 10. Parent comment
PuTTy is amazing, and my experience of using windows over the years would have been far worse without it.
However I do understand the point - compared to using a real terminal, it does indeed suck to be stuck on windows using PuTTy
For a terminal on windows, I have now taken to install cygwin, X on cygwin, and then xfce-terminal on top. It's not perfect either, but it is better.
