I think it's interesting they don't mention Linux subsystem for Windows 10.

As a developer, MacOS CLI was the biggest advantage over Windows. Now, you have the full Ubuntu CLI at your fingertip including apt-get install. No VM. It's a big selling point.

Even before the Linux subsystem, there were other alternatives.

I switched a year or so ago, and I use Cmder (conemu) as a substitute for Terminal (and it's great, btw). Didn't have to change my habits at all. On the other hand, I'm far from being a "hard core" terminal user.

Is there a good terminal application with TABS for Win 10?

I'm using consoleZ, its.. ok. Console 2 seemed a little more robust, may give that a shot again. Getting things like right click context menu "console here" involves fun registry editing..

I don't think so. Your best bet may well be to set up an X server and run a Linux terminal program.
