Is Cygwin or Windows Command Prompt preferable for getting a consistent terminal experience for development?
- by Paul Hazen
The question:
Which is better, installing cygwin or one of its cousins on all my windows machines to have a consistent terminal experience across all my development machines, or becoming well trained in the skill of mentally switching from linux terminal to windows command prompt?
Systems I use:
OSX Lion on a Macbook Air
Windows 8 on a desktop…
