Typically because you want to quickly do something that's trivial under
Linux, and you don't fancy spenting 4 weeks searching for an equivilent
Windows tool to do the same thing.
(E.g., you try finding a tool that can compute the MD5 sums of all the
files in a given folder and write them into a text file. Under Linux,
this is trivial. Under Windows... well, there's a CLI tool that will
compute the MD5 sum for *one* file, but you try scripting it to process
several...)
