Just started using native Emacs on Windows and switched from cmd.exe in shell mode to PowerShell, but it would be nice to have a better shell that I can use both on my home machines and the two work machines that run GNU/Linux that would also work on my work Windows laptop. + - Yes, I saw that's one of the main use cases for ehsell. But on windows, for some reason, git provides a bash shell. https://gitforwindows.org/ + - Yes, I was thinking to maybe hook that into shell mode. The advantage of Eshell would be that I would not have to configure shell mode at all and just use the built in functionality of Emacs no matter what system I am on. +- Using buffers for input and output is such a killer feature + - Do you mean in eshell or more generally in Emacs + - both!
