What can you DO with a DOS prompt? I'm so spoiled by GNU tools that the average windoze box is just impossible for me. There's no man pages, paths are all broken, there's no find or archive utilities, you are lucky if you have command memory, but forget tab complete and filenames with spaces in them screw everything you might have gotten to work. Their CLI seems as barren, primative barren and difficult as their single desktop GUI or Mars. I understand there once was life there and still have a copy of DOS 3.2 in the closet with collection of other dead binaries. Has something emerged from the dust?
