I feel that Windows 7 was really the pinnacle UI for desktops... I kind of dig Unity, as it&#x27;s similar enough for me.  I do prefer a bash prompt to CMD though.<p>I don&#x27;t think node on Windows is so bad these days once you&#x27;ve got Python 2.x and VS 2015 Community installed...  When I started with node (0.6-0.8 era), it was pretty bad in Windows.  These days most popular modules just work, or work once you have gyp prereq&#x27;s installed.
