> The maintenance of Git for Windows is supported by Microsoft from now on.

So now maintenance is not done by GitHub. Hmmmm should be interesting to see Git more integrated with Windows. I HATE developing on Windows due to a large part git for windows and command line. Just look at installing Python on Windows to see what is wrong with Windows :)

I can't stand Windows either and haven't used it in years, but even many years ago ActivePython worked just fine. Now there's Anaconda too, which I'm sure works well (because Continuum is awesome).

So, I guess you're just referring to the standard distribution? What's wrong with it on Windows?

Yes Anaconda is okay BUT it isn't a vanilla install nor is it a simple pip to install or update like it is on my Linux box.

Python should just be a exe and I can just use pip.

There's always chocolatey:

choco install python
