I've been using Console2 for a while and really like it. Last week a colleague pointed out an alternative called ConEmu. It's actively developed and has a bunch of extra features. I'm trying it out but haven't made up my mind which I prefer yet. The decision seems like it will largely be a tradeoff between configuartion complexity and flexibility. https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/.

I use ConEmu as well.

I like the tabbed interface and the way it does select/copy/paste (close to the Windows way) in the CMD console. And, it has some pretty cool support for the FAR Manager.

Here's a nice writeup by Scott Hanselman: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ConEmuTheWindowsTerminalConsol...

Use comemu myself when dealing with windows. It makes things better, but still cmd and ps really are horrible command interpreters.
