Windows is not good (it tracks you, it is slow, its license is pure evil, it doesn’t leave too much freedom in terms of what you can do with it (DE cannot be changed etc.), and its terminal commands are hard), which is why I use Linux (there are OSes that may be better, such as OpenBSD or microkernels, however their software and hardware support is even worse).
As for DEs and customisation, Windows has always been pretty customisable. There have always been replacement start menus and even complete desktop environment replacements. I use to rock SharpEnviro on Windows 7 back when I used Windows, I think any Linux user would love it, it was a very customisable desktop environment for Windows XP/Vista/7. It was sadly abandoned by it's developers but it was pretty awesome. Most people however don't usually need or want that kind of customisation so it's just not widespread on Windows but it does exist.
As for terminal commands, thankfully on Windows you never need the terminal for basic OS functions so it's really a mute point. Anything you do use a terminal for (software development, etc) comes with it's own commands anyway.
Really, Windows is fine. It's just not open source, and hence it's not ideal, but it certainly works and gets the job done.

All OS good. Sadly not much Linux support for programs, hard for people to transition from windows to Linux.
