A very convenient improvement that makes a difference is http://mridgers.github.io/clink/ (readline mostly). Tiny, useful, fresh air.

Oh, wow. I don't run windows anymore, but that's quite an amazing little tool. My work mates who use windows are going to be stoked with this, thanks. Currently they're all use cmder, but some struggle with the impedance mismatch of a GNU/NT system like that. This with native binaries will be an amazing setup!

Yeah, clink author hit the nail on the head. `Minimally Enjoyable Upgrade` I guess.
