given that Windows gives terrible terminal and shell

Though the command set is a little verbose I think powershell is pretty nice. If you get posh-git(https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git) and use powershell it makes the git experience on windows quite pleasurable.

Last time I checked, PowerShell made more or less sensible programming language, but was awful in term of command completion. If that hasn't changed, it is still a terrible shell.

The commands themselves are verbose but I've never had a problem with completion. Can you highlight some problems you had?
