Polymer 3 - 'polymer init' is busted on Win10

[chisholmd]

I am finally getting around to upgrading to polymer 3 but it is not an encouraging sign that core features of the CLI do not work on Win10. Running Polymer Init returns an error code about 'uname' not being recognized, and then subsequent actions fail. Running 'polymer init polymer-3-application' hangs eventually as well.

Googling around the only solution presented to 'use Polymer 3 on windows' is to in fact install Bash and run polymer CLI in Linux sub-system. It sounds like a joke, right?

Is it the intent of the polymer CLI team to NOT support WIndows? Or are there other solutions that I have not found yet?
