With Launchy I had that in 2008.

I did have to run a lot more cmd.exe than I do terminal window in linux. In the latter case, I mostly drag-n-drop filenames from Strawberry (the music player) that I want to remove from disk, because the option doesn't exist in the app itself (does in QMMP, but it's written in a somewhat dirty manner and so experiences effect of software rot), or when I want to run a python script of mine with console output - so that I don't have to open its log later, I see it all onscreen as it happens.
Under Windows, I often had to use cmd.exe to do simple file manipulation, because the File Expolorer (nee Windows Explorer, though it was since forever unable to explore either) never mastered the art of having two opposite windows for that - you had to drag'n'drop between windows, first moving them around to display both the source and target locations with enough screen space to select files in source and have a drop area in target, and then just hope it won't automatically scroll or lose the mouse-down condition over a bad connection. Likewise for ftp to clients, whereby their IT police would disable it... in Explorer, completely forgetting the cmd.exe, where it worked :).
