What are the PowerShell consoles for Windows?

Question

Linux is known for having lots of terminals and consoles that are built upon GTK, Qt, GNOME, KDE or X to run the shell (like bash). PowerShell on Windows runs with the Windows console (the same as used for cmd.exe) by default.

What are the other consoles or terminals available for Windows that support PowerShell?

Answer 1

There does not seem to be a great selection, but I am new to PowerShell and I have not tried 'Poshconsole' but it looks interesting.

It is opensource working under the Microsoft Permissive License (Ms-PL).

Answer 2

Have a loot at the Console Project over at SourceForge.

From their website:

Console is a Windows console window enhancement. Console features include: multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, different background types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font, different window styles

Answer 3

Powershell ISE would be my pick. It's a WPF application.
