These people really exist? I cringe everytime I even have to run few commands on Windows when I cannot use gitbash or the likes cause of things.. the ergonomics, the ugly tools, and then (haha works both ways) the totally unreasonable names.

I thought even Windows power users were convinced that dos environment is sad and that is how we got Powershell?

Please dos environment lovers speak up and defend it! (:

Personally I'm fond of MS-DOS because of all the ugly, arbitrary hackiness of it all. It's a beautiful mess. It's also an incredibly lean and responsive OS compared to a modern day OS where every keystroke and mouse movement goes through a dozen layers of abstraction. DOS gives you close to direct access to hardware.
