Of course it's not as fast as a native Linux shell, but still it's better than nothing. It's a msys/cygwin-like shell that effectively provides you with a bash shell, and this runs on Windows. One solution is to use MSYS2 environment. The problem is when one is forced to use Windows when it's clear that those goals are incompatible with the person's goals. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't offer any decent command-line oriented environment, because well, it has different goals, and that's understandable. Using Windows is a painful experience for a command-line oriented person like me.
