I do kind of wonder though what MS would do if the majority of
Windows programmers really got a taste of how great the command

needs to have a proper command line - preferably even port over
something like bash or zsh with all of the fantastic tools that
come with that. I don't see any reason why they couldn't do
that, but they're completely focused on GUIs and doing their
own thing.
MYSYS 2[1] is bash for Windows and has many Linux tools
available, using packman to manage them. Then there's also git
Bash[2], which is primarily focused on git but does provide other
tools (nowhere near what's available for MSYS 2, though).
