I'm looking for console like the Gnome Terminal for Windows to replace cmd.exe. I'd like to have tabs and easy copy&paste. Do you know a tool like that?

Try Console and see if that fits your needs.
Console is a Windows console window enhancement. Console features include: multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, different background types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font, different window styles
I am elated by such features. Now, how to make sure my dad doesn't know? :P – Varad Mahashabde – 2016-10-16T07:53:48.253

Found similar question on stackoverflow. I'm the author of ConEmu (open source Console Emulator).
ConEmu can be used with any console application or simple GUI tools (like PuTTY for example). ConEmu is a live project, open to suggestions.
A brief excerpt from the long list of options:

What you are looking for is a terminal emulator. A good cross-platform emulator is Terminator.
This is actually terminal emulator for Cygwin – SergeanT – 2012-05-29T18:25:04.813

Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin and Cygwin derivatives such as MSYS. It can be downloaded from here or it can be installed through Cygwin's setup.exe program, where it can be found in the Shells category. The Cygwin installer creates a shortcut for mintty in the Windows start menu.
Features include:

Window transparency, but no tabs? :\ – Septagram – 2011-10-26T16:36:14.617

I am using Cygwin / CygwinPorts. Actually, I'm running RoxTerm instead of gnome-terminal, but the latter is also possible. This solution is somewhat heavyweight, but since I not only need the terminal emulation, but also the bash / perl / vim / gcc / make environment, X Window server et al., it perfectly fit my bill. And it gives you "the real thing", i.e. gnome-terminal, not something "almost like it".

2@DennisWilliamson I know the difference between a terminal and a shell, I still would like a terminal as simple and as powerful as gnome-terminal (or konsole) than can be plugged into many shells (like cmd or bash). Preferably not as clumsy as Console – Sambatyon – 2011-12-12T20:58:01.617
