If you’ve spent much time doing development work on Linux or Max OS X, and you suddenly find yourself stuck doing development work on a Windows machine, one of the things you’ll quickly learn to hate is the Windows command prompt. You can’t resize the command prompt window, and cut-and-paste is a bit of a pain.
