I just had to switch from mac to windows upon losing my only mac workstation. I really hated the transition at first and bash on windows was my savior. It actually has apt-get and even though it's only on the preview builds for now it will become legit soon and be almost as useful as normal bash on any other nix system.

One of the most glaring issues is that it's contained in a windows-like terminal and the fonts are broken for non-standard characters.

Try it with conemu instead of the regular command prompt.

ConEmu is amazing. Right now I have it set such that each time I launch it, it opens a Cygwin tab and a regular Windows command prompt tab. Customization options are endless as well.

ConEmu is great, however, I'm finding it to be confusing in comparison to iTerm2.
