Console (not Console2) has a feature that improves perceived performance tremendously IMO; it basically updates when there is a (text) change in the hidden console in addition to the original potentially-wasteful constant updating rate. And I also discovered you can directly copy and paste text in Console using the mouse. These features make it tolerable to use.
And to get bangs working, you could get bang.exe or bang32.exe from shellfront.org's modules page (I forget which is which, rename whichever to !.exe) and stick it in your %PATH%. Then you execute bangs though with a extra space character,
e.g. c:\windows\system32>! recycle
Of course you can do the same using litestep.exe but that's more typing.
I think someone could make a shell (in the same sense as for *nix, a command line interpreter) for cmd.exe, to try and recognize bangs normally, but I don't know. I remember ez3ki3l (sp?) years ago had a vaporware(?) LSTerm(?) :)
