I totally agree with his points about how terrible the Windows console is.
Scrolling past the current line into blank space makes no sense. Having two identical settings menus (Defaults and Properties) that affect the current terminal vs every terminal makes no sense. Having no color theme support makes no sense.
As far as third party terminals go, ConEmu is pretty good but crashes a lot for me. I don't see why I should even need to get a third party terminal though. Microsoft is a multi billion dollar company. Can't they hire a team of guys to improve the one thing that every single programmer and sysadmin cares about - the god damned terminal?
As a Windows developer for last year I can see very big leap in terminal usability. Nowadays you can reset it as you Wish. Hotkeys works as expected. Muse integration much much better.
Try latest Insider builds. Console nowadays mush better and faster then ever in Windows
Seriously. This has been the one major stalling point for me as well. Setting up a Python environment and installing programs with Chocolatey were trivial, but the damn PowerShell terminal is ugly as sin.
