“The Linux crowd embraces the truth that command line makes computing better. Th Windows crowd still has their heads stuck in the sand.”

You are probably not up to speed on what Windows Poweshell is capable of and how it’s used. And before you claim I don’t know the Linux side, over 40 years ago I could start at a ksh prompt and start typing grep piped to awk piped to some back tick do loop .... hit the return and 9 out of 10 times have no syntax errors. :)

Just opened it for the heck of it. Typed emacs -nw and it behaved like a terminal should, no problems. But I'll stick with msys64 bash, thanks.
