> does it have any of the footguns relating to awful corporate network drive setups, $HOME, expensive prompts, and the like?

Not sure what you mean - can you give an example?

There will be a $HOME environment variable.

I never use WSL, Git Bash or Cygwin stuff. Just the normal command prompt with xonsh running on top of it. So I can't speak to performance issues. If you could give examples, I may be able to address them.

Definitely should not have issues due to antivirus. It will be a program running continuously.

Powershell is probably the best, but I didn't want to expend energy learning it. With xonsh I can have the same config in Linux and Windows, and Python is always a plus.
