"Emacs & the CLI are second class citizens on Windows"

I haven't used Emacs on Windows, but Powershell is the best shell I've used (I used to use zsh on Linux). There's also console2 and conemu if you want to avoid the built in cmd-derivative, which is rather unpleasant.

But in Windows if I want to ssh somewhere I have to use another program.
