It would be great if it would replace backslashes with forward slashes and allow this blunder to be gradually phased out of Windows...

Forward slashes have worked in the terminal for a long time.

  PS C:\Users> cd rthom/Desktop
  PS C:\Users\rthom\Desktop>

That would be done in the shell, not the terminal.
