We do have bash, but why bring it up when we are talking about terminal emulators.

It kinda wants to be bash...

Again, bash is a shell. This is a terminal emulator. This even provides you the option to get bash along with it in the form of msysgit which comes with bash.

I think there might be a little bit of confusion/diffusion of the separation here. This page seems to be talking about terminal emulator and shell features:

"There is simple support for aliases. They can by using alias command like alias ls=ls --color $ They are pretty much just doskeys in file /config/aliases. One per line. And make sure to handle arguments by putting arguments variable $* somewhere."*

"Shell

Shift + Up : Traverse up in directory structure (lovely feature!)

End, Home, ctrl : Traversing text with as usual on Windows

Ctrl + r : History search"

The page says it includes clink, which says on clink's project page: "Bringing Bash's powerful command line editing to Microsoft Windows' cmd.exe"
