Poll: What is your primary operating system

Have you tried PowerShell? It provides many more features, and has been a default install since Windows 7. Microsoft has been pushing it by making it possible to use PowerShell to configure a lot of the server products - and sometimes requiring the use of PowerShell for some configuration tasks.

PowerShell still uses the same terminal as cmd.exe; the one you can't resize horizontally without diving into its properties window.

I have tried powershell. The fact that you can't copy or paste in a standard way suggests a pretty half-assed implementation to me.

I've tried PowerShell a few times. The thing that puts me off every time is not being able to bind keys. I find it so painful not being able to use emacs shortcuts at the prompt.
