   We have been a Windows-shop since the start but have always had a strong desire to even out differences with Linux backends. We have experienced all of the pains associated with that desire (VMs, Vagrant, Containers, SSH, WSL, every single shell there is, trying to actually work with Windows shells, ...).
   
   What we learned from all of it is: Don't try to reach to high. A solid working bash is good enough and lightyears ahead of PowerShell (when working with tools like Cordova).
   
   In general, if we want Cordova to work on Windows, we should recommend that people start by installing a different shell. As bad as it is, Cordova should primarily work with the native environment (which it does to my knowledge). So I'm not sure if there's cause for action. Even maintaining a list of known issues with certain setups seems like it would be a task that would just be neglected in favor of more important tasks.
