We were not able to find publicy availabe stats for others Pentesting Distros but we are sure that more than 60% users uses windows.

Commandline Utility:

PentestBox gives you the features which you miss you most in windows i.e., CommandLine utility . You can know more about list of tools in PentestBox on tools.pentestbox.com . There you will find list of the tools which are inside PentestBox and how to use them.

Better Performance

As we told you in above paragraph PentestBox works on host machine instead of Virtual Machine so performance is obviously better. You may also like its UI( User Interface), it is the same green font on black terminal but in an modern way.
Also no dependency needed for PentestBox, all the dependencies required by tools are inside PentestBox, so you can even run PentestBox on freshly installed windows without any hassle. They also take care of Portability, PentestBox is entirely portbale, so now you can carry your own Penetration Testing Environment on a USB stick. It will take care of dependencies required to run tools which are inside it.
