FWIW, Windows 10 now has the ability to install a Linux sub-system, 
basically a bash prompt.  You can then use apt-get to install lots of 
other standard Linux programs.  Support for gui apps is not officially 
supported, but the apps I've tried work if you also install an X-windows 
server app.  I used to use Cygwin, but I prefer the Windows Linux 
sub-system.

[docbook-apps] Re: Using the DocBook XSLT 2.0 stylesheets with Gradle

[Niels Müller Larsen]

Hi there

I was teaching programming to students with Aspergers syndrome 6 months 
last year in a Windows environment, so I came across bash in the git 
package. Otherwise I haven't touched Win since 2002 ;)


I am on Linux, my present web development students on Win or Mac, so 
cross platform is important, and that was all I wanted to comment on.


Cheers

Niels

Yes, though I do wonder how many of todays Windows users would be
comfortable working
with a bash script Niels? CS students  yes, others, I'm less sure.

 It was probably quite a while since Norm used Windows!

Sorry to intrude.
The cross platform comment on bash triggered me.
My students use a bash shell on Windows. It is included, I think, in the git 
download for Windows.
