On Windows 11, is it superior to use the command line interface (e.g., terminal) for interacting with yt-dlp? Or is a GUI like stacher.io sufficient for 99% of needs?

I’m also curious if it is better to use an Ubuntu WSL for yt-dlp CLI for a more streamlined terminal

    windows terminal is inferior

    Note that there is an application called Windows Terminal and that’s a terminal, not a shell. You can run any shell in it (including alternative or WSL shells).

    I primarily use native Nushell via Windows Terminal.

    You’re not stuck with PowerShell or batch on Windows.

      Until you pointed this out I never realized that windows terminal and command prompt are entirely different applications lol
