Python doesn't count, as it's cross-platform; lots of programs work
the same way on all their platforms, and it doesn't say anything about
the expectations of native Windows apps. But wmic, that's a better
example. Counter-example: Command-line FTP on Windows doesn't react to
Ctrl-Z, which annoys me somewhat when I move from one to another. (Not
as much as it annoys me by not supporting passive mode, though. I
generally have to turn to a web browser to do basic FTP downloads
across a VM boundary, and for uploads, I either have to go fetch a
better FTP client (like FileZilla), or - as I've often done - whip up
a few lines of basic TCP socket file transfer, because I can do that
at an interactive interpreter faster than most people can move files
any other way.)
