For some reason the Windows command prompt is "special" in that you have to go to a properties dialog to resize it horizontally rather than just dragging the corner of the window like every other app. Unsurprisingly this feature made it into P-P-P-Powershell as well -- is there any way around this via command prompt replacement or Windows hackery?

Right-click on the top bar of Command Prompt and select Properties. In the Properties window, open the Colors tab. At the bottom, drag the Opacity slider to adjust the transparency. Feel free to experiment with the slider to achieve the best look.
The Command Prompt can also run batch files; these make automating tasks easy. Power users prefer the Command Prompt for some tasks, as you can take actions with a few simple keystrokes that would require dozens of clicks in the GUI.
ZOC is one of the best terminal emulator and SSH client especially for programmers that want to access data on Unix machines from Windows. The software is not free but has impressive features for advanced users.
For those who prefer using Command Prompt, you can opt out of the Windows Logo Key + X change by opening Settings > Personalization > Taskbar, and turning off, Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell in the menu when I right-click the start button or press Windows key+X.
