Too many things? Other than I/O (which I agree is important) of certain 
Windows only programs what else does rxvt do wrong?

Personally I find the copy paste mechanism on a Windows Console enough 
to switch, let along horrid (non-existent) handling of resizing the 
window, bad scrolling habits, poor font selection, poor color selection, 
etc. enough to have ditched the Windows Console and deal with the one 
sole problem of Windows programs not understanding I/O with ptys...

YMMV.
