Yes! I joined Microsoft 2 years ago, prior to that was on OS X. I couldn't believe how awful cmd.exe was. It was like if a college student half implemented some homework assignment and we all had to use it. I tried using cygwin, PowerShell, and other shells but that was hard because too much of my day to day work depended on shared scripts that I would have to manually update for my shell. So I was stuck with cmd.exe and it was miserable.

Windows 10 fixed that with the improvements you mentioned. It's still no "Terminal", but it's now about 80% as good, instead of 1%.
