Yes, I don't understand it either. "No ugly DLLs" but you have to run everything in Node.js. There are a few technologies that have tried to do something better than Unix shells, like Microsoft's PowerShell. It has a lot of failings, but it gets a lot of things right. I am always stunned when I see Windows folks stumbling around in cmd.exe when PowerShell has been installed standard for a while now.

There's still a lot of room for improvement.

I use cmd a lot more than PS because:

1. Win+R -> cmd enter is a lot faster than Win+R -> powershell enter

2. cmd starts faster than powershell

3. I seldom require all the power from powershell

I napped CTRL+ALT+T to start powershell. Very convenient.
