cmder all the way! Tried it one, never got back. It's build on ConEmu and uses Clink for all the enhancements. And it's sexy as hell:

Here are some of the features:

• The same line editing as Bash (from GNU’s Readline library).
• History persistence between sessions.
• Context sensitive completion;
  • Executables (and aliases).
  • Directory commands.
  • Environment variables
  • Thirdparty tools; Git, Mercurial, SVN, Go, and P4.
• New keyboard shortcuts;
  • Paste from clipboard (Ctrl-V).
  • Incremental history search (Ctrl-R/Ctrl-S).
  • Powerful completion (TAB).
  • Undo (Ctrl-Z).
  • Automatic “cd ..” (Ctrl-Alt-U).
  • Environment variable expansion (Ctrl-Alt-E).
  • (press Alt-H for many more…)
• Scriptable completion with Lua.
• Coloured and scriptable prompt.
• Auto-answering of the “Terminate batch job?” prompt.

For development I use Linux, but on the weekend I set up a Windows Dev maschine (for ionic to build Android apk file) and there I used Power Shell and wanted to destroy it with CMD the same. When i press CTRL + C I want cancel the current command and Power SHell asks my if I really want to cancel the task.

I mostly use putty or git-bash, for simple things i just press shift + right click in the folder and select "open cmd here", so partly cmd too.

On windows I use Clink with Conemu. This gives me an easy to use shell environment with history support.

I don't necessarily like PowerShell but since it comes on the machine and is on every machine it is convenient to use. I spend most of my time in the cloud so (almost) every machine I touch is ephemeral and fairly stock. The thing I'm most jonesing for is SSH access to the Windows console. :)
