"Now... ITS 20-fucking-12 and windows still has the biggest piece of absolute shit terminal tool possible, with no alternative in sight."

CLI is not a primary way of using Windows. Do you bitch as much when you can't use your terminal on your mobile devices as you do on your dev box? Microsoft has very good (very good) tools for developing things for their stack.

"Furthermore terminal programs that work in linux, work in mac, so you get REAL developer tools. There is nothing decent like that on windows."

Why do you need terminal programs? Jesus fucking Christ--as you pointed out, it's 2012.

"Many things I need for my program to run DOES NOT WORK IN WINDOWS, so it's on MS' head to make them work. Apple saw that having a fully custom OS meant developer alienation. That is why they made OSX. People immediately praised it for it's ability to run dev tools, and developers were happy."

No, those tools that don't work on Windows are due to lazy/busy/shitty developers who can't be bothered to support 90% of the market.

Sorry your tools suck, but don't act like that is in any way Microsoft's fault.
