If something is broken in windows, tough luck. I always find if something is broken in Linux, someone has a fix
Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box

Let’s at least not exaggerate, because it’s not particularly useful if you’re trying to get someone to switch. If someone is on the fence about it and sees comments like yours, they’ll be more likely to go “oh well I don’t have those kinds of issues with Windows, so it must just be them.” The vast majority of Windows users (office workers, people using it to check emails and browse Facebook, people just using it for Steam, etc) will literally never need to use CLI.
If you’re needing to use CLI every hour or two on Windows, that sounds more like you’re using the wrong tool for the job. Essentially, you’re trying to use a drill when you need a hammer. A drill may function as a hammer… But it’ll probably take a lot of extra effort. And it’ll likely end up damaging the tool, because you’re using it for something it wasn’t designed to do.

I was a windows sysadmin doing mostly software deployment and automation. I was definitely an edge case. Point is, windows has a command line and requires it for a lot of tasks.
