Nothing stops the user from installing MSys if they want it. In fact, users who are likely to want it may already have it installed, so we shouldn't be installing a second copy (which may conflict with their existing copy; even if it doesn't, they now have to configure and maintain two copies). We shouldn't be forcing it on people. Whether it's "better" isn't the issue. It's not what Windows users will be familiar with. It's not what's going to be described if users search for documentation on "Windows command line". GRASS 6 has to bundle MSys because GRASS 6 won't work without it. That shouldn't be the case for GRASS 7. This sounds reasonable. If users want something better then what MS provides they should install it, as you say, or they should install different OS or use Python for scripting, I would say.
