I’m really confused why even a modern version of Windows with Powershell still has the appalling terminal experience from Windows 9x days. I constantly find it annoying that a default Windows installation lacks a decent scrollback buffer, the ability to size the terminal to any size and better text manipulation?
I thought the PS push was going to introduce a complete new prompt, but instead they repurposed the existing one?
Exactly. Sometimes copying good qualities from competitors (*nix) can go a long way in building a trust relationship with developers who love command prompt.
