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.

      I use PowerShell for damn near everything. But I’m pretty sure when you’re just typing yt-dlp, space, then pasting the url, then any terminal is as good as any other.
