&gt;  And I&#x27;m not talking about just Pi development - developing anything on Windows is a huge pain without a Bash prompt and proper coreutils support.<p>You haven&#x27;t used Windows in a very very long time I take it? Powershell is likely a better shell than Bash and Microsoft freely provides compilers for C&#x2F;C++&#x2F;.Net and you can trivially get compilers for most other major languages on the platform.<p>All I am reading from your complaints is that you&#x27;re scared of learning something new.
