Regarding command line and Windows, I can't imagine myself working without Far Manager (http://farmanager.com/) in combination with ConEmu. I find that a file manager, a terminal and a simple file viewer/editor for quick edits are a very natural combination for a lot of software-related tasks. Much more efficient than both the usual unix cd/ls/cp/... tools and the GUI drag-and-drop based file managers.

Only problem is that Far's default configuration kinda sucks (LeftCtrl+4 is the first thing I do on a new install).

Another invaluable tool for Unix-y stuff on Windows is Rapid Environment Editor (http://www.rapidee.com/en/about), because the integrated editor for environment variables in Windows is just horrible.
