If Microsoft added these utilities to Windows and included a decent shell it would go a long way to getting developer mind share back from Apple.

FYI: these tools install with GitExtensions for windows, and that includes a bash shell.

I use it with ConEmu, and it goes a long way towards usability. I also use Clover as a file explorer wrapper/replacement. I usually have a couple browsers, editors/ide, clover and conemu open at all times.. tabbed interfaces are beyond useful.

As is having a bash shell (although some things aren't quite the same).

so true. Well there is Cygwin although it feels sometimes like an alien on Windows IMHO. It is not that Microsoft tried to do this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX but it seems not good enough :/
