Face it. The windows command line interface has always sucked. Maybe that’s why most Windows users don’t use it…
Lately I’ve become enamoured with Console, the open-source replacement for the basic Windows command prompt.
The reasons I like it?
- Tabbed interface
- Alpha Transparency
- Support for lots of colors and fonts (Consolas kicks ass)
- Integration with cygwin
Seriously, now… which looks better?
This….

or this….
