If the same can be accomplished on Windows (and I don’t think it can), it will only work on Windows.
WINDOWS OR MAC OS FOR WEB DEVELOPMENT INSTALL
If my laptop gets eaten by a stray moose, or I leave it on a rocket bound for the sun, I can go from a fresh install of any Unix like OS to a familiar, usable setup in under an hour (mostly from typing one command). I have all of my important configuration and settings backed up in files on github. In the end, I just don’t think it’s worth it. If anything, my hat goes off to you all for obviously being more patient and clever than me. I’m not saying this as a criticism of Windows users. This was all before I even tried looking for the nice amenities that I’m used to, like a Quake-style dropdown terminal and shell aliases.
I couldn’t get git to work in the same command line environment I was running node in. I tried terminal emulators, but the way Windows has its user data spread around is ridiculous and navigation is difficult. I had to install a node module just to be able to delete a node_mdule folder.
For instance, the last time I tried deleting a node_modules folder, Powershell complained that the filenames were too long and it couldn’t proceed. The Windows 10 Anniversary Update has given me hope that the experience will one day be bearable, but every time I try to get anything approaching an ergonomic workflow, Windows punches me in the face and I go cry in a corner. I’ll give a dissenting opinion and say that Windows is a horrible choice, but you won’t know that until you try to use a more advanced setup.
