Related: If you find yourself in a Windows terminal a lot, check out Cmder (http://gooseberrycreative.com/cmder/). It's the only thing keeping me sane when using a Windows console.

Cmder is a little slow by default, but faster if you disable the git branch in the prompt. Other people I know use Clink (http://mridgers.github.io/clink/), the library the powers the readline-like portion of Cmder.
