I agree that it sucks (in a CMD shell). It's the reason I switched to a Mac when I became a developer. Maybe it's come a long way. I've heard good things about PowerShell, too, but honestly haven't played with it much.
As far as the Linux subsystem, I wouldn't use it for anything serious. It choked the first time I tried installing Elixir.
I'd probably rely on a Vagrant VM running in VirtualBox (or whatever VM host makes the most sense on Windows).
