    cmd.exe is largely still concerned with starting processes and hooking them together in much the same vein as Bourne shell, so I tend to use it for that.

    (I actually use Yori[0], but it's pretty much to tcsh what cmd.exe is to csh.)

    PowerShell leaned a little too hard into the structured data to be useful for me as a command shell. It's a pretty decent competitor to the Python REPL though.

  • The Tilde Text Editor
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Jan 2023
    Malcolm Smith's YEdit deserves mention here, also inspired by the old MS-DOS Edit which was used by so many people in yesteryears to edit their autoexec files, read .nfo files and poke into the numerous batch files of the day. MS-DOS Edit no longer runs natively outside of something like a DOSBox, but YEdit is the closest thing I have seen to recreating almost exactingly the old nostalgic experience.

    Tilde is of course more for the non-Windows audience while YEdit is only for Windows.

    Escaping of arguments and slashes in paths will now hopefully work better on Windows, which is generally an issue there. Yori shell is now also handled on Windows.

    If you're not constrained to inbox tools, there's a lot more out there. Personally I'm not a fan of PowerShell and have posted all of my tools at https://github.com/malxau/yori . Not saying that's an exhaustive set of tools that solves all problems, but it's my list of "what's missing" from the out of box Win32 experience.

    For what it's worth, I maintain my own CMD-like shell (http://www.malsmith.net/yori) and look in forums like this for suggestions/feature requests. I see why you'd like this, but if implemented, it can't ever be consistent, so I worry that it'd just generate more confusion.

    A start menu/taskbar (stop laughing - I'm not crazy!) It's a 52Kb self contained executable that can parse shortcuts from the start menu folders. Makes RDP to Core into a somewhat sane experience. See https://github.com/malxau/yori/tree/master/yui .
