   I always feel like I've come home when I can work with vim and a command line, no matter what the operating system is. The humble cmd.exe has improved somewhat; you can now have more than 80 columns, the copy/paste shortcuts are finally sane, and there is mouse support. I'm still waiting for tabs and proper rendering of underlined text. I hear that cmd.exe in the Insider build of Windows 10 has tabs, but apparently it's not coming to the next official release.

      What Microsoft is doing with Windows 10 isn't exactly innovative, but they're definitely catching up to what's been going on in the Linux/Mac world. For Windows natives, this must feel like innovation. For the rest of us, it provides some much needed sanity.
