I make a living writing software that's hosted on Windows. I've never felt as comfortable with the command line options on Windows as I do with macos/Linux. Git bash with vim was such a relief.

It's an idiosyncratic mix of ergonomics and habit probably. I don't really care since I get the job done efficiently (more so than a lot of "Windows natives" I observe).

In my experience, it really does come down to the ergonomics: the cursor, the casing, the forward slashes, whatever key combo is required to paste (shift+insert?).

I'm sure PowerShell and friends are great but it's enough of a shift to not be worth the learning curve if it's an environment you're just dipping into to do the bare minimum required to make something work.
