You're not limited to powershell though. There are at least 4 options that are more appropriate for someone like you like Cygwin, git bash or one of the terminal emulators (ConEmu).

Anyway, I think it's a tradeoff in either direction - Programming on Linux, the way it's most commonly done now, means cobbling together a tool-set to do that work. Windows programming tools are typically more streamlined. However, on Windows you have to cobble together your kit for other things such as advanced command line tools that you may depend on.
