Cmder was designed to be a usable Open Source Windows console emulator.

Cmder is based on ConEmu that includes a major config overhaul, comes with a Monokai color scheme, amazing clink (further enhanced by clink-completions) and a custom prompt layout. One of the main advantages of Cmder is its portability. It is totally self-contained requiring no external dependencies making it perfect for USB Sticks as well as cloud storage. cmder allows you to take your console, aliases, and binaries (like wget, curl and git) with you anywhere.

The Cmder's user interface is also designed to be more eye-pleasing than other similar apps. There are extensive operation details provided at the author's repository to look through - too many to list here.
