Now that there's a ``pip freeze`` and a ``conda env export``, it seems like
it's much easier to determine what one just did to their {system, --user,
virtualenv, conda root, or condaenv} without having a list of commands to
review (ala .bash_history) or filesystem diff's. Would such a GUI handle
these cases and also virtualenv create-and-restart?

Bash can be installed in Windows.

Spyder is an IDE with a command prompt (shell window) and a python prompt
(python window, ipython window).
