The lack of a full Linux like terminal is also my current hold back. I know I can use VcXsrv and run xfce4-terminal, but I would rather use something that is more native to Windows than some hacky solution. In addition, now that the Windows Console supports 24-bit color, using things like ConEmu feels like two steps back (ConEmu doesn't support 24-bit color).

This drives my crazy BUT I have found mobaxterm http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ is the best solution for me. So much so I threw money at them.
