Windows, what about PowerShell? I've not used it extensively, but have heard good things.

Or just use Python across all three platforms?

Honestly it's not really feasible to use Python when basic Linux tools like comm, or dos2linux, which take literally just a few characters, recreating the functionality in Python would be a headache.
