If you're ever forced to use Windows, just install nushell. The speedup is wild, and along with it comes many nice quality of life features.

Nushell is good on the Unixes as well, but the defaults there are less annoying. I regularly revert to bash because there's just some thing I've memorized in bash, and bash doesn't make me want to scream.

Note that this is just my perspective on it as an interactive shell. I've never used it for scripting.

Windows already has a very good shell called PowerShell.

I've tried the stock Windows shell and utilities. `ls` is noticeably slow in directories with like 15 subdirectories. That's not acceptable. Even the terminal emulator is so slow pasting 30 characters takes several frames. That's not too annoying, but I might replace it with Wezterm or something.

The stock Windows terminal experience is awful. Windows has improved markedly recently with `winget`, so maybe they'll get around to fixing the speed sometime, too.
