I built a service whose primary client is a CLI program. I was thinking about building that client for Windows as well (not just WSL). My target users are generally technically-proficient so I’d rather not build a whole GUI app if it’s unnecessary. But I honestly have no idea how often Windows users use CLI tools beyond some Windows admin stuff.
So if Windows is your daily driver, how often do you leverage the shell and how unusual would it be to use CLI tools in your workflows?
A lot , powershell scripts, PSRun, msys2, emacs mostly. Powershell is actually pretty easy to learn to build your own stuff.
Hold up. You run emacs in powershell?
Yeah I use PSrun also. Emacs has been compiled using mingw, works very well. I use it for all my work notes and tasks using denote plugin.
