I slightly mis-spoke. Obviously GNU Screen and Bash are only truly
available on Unix-like operating systems. But that's pretty much all of
the popular workstation OSes except one.

GNU Emacs and Vim are truly available on every popular workstation OS.
Learn one of them well, and you will be able to take on the diversity of
programming tasks much easier.
