Yes; I actually prefer a Unix-type shell over Powershell, as I know much more about Unix-type shells than I do about Powershell. I just prefer the Unix command line over the ones in Windows since I encountered Cygwin in 1999. |
It sounds like we're in agreement for similar reasons. Powershell appears to be an amazing tool, but Microsoft let its predecessor stagnate for far to long while Unix was steadily improving and Apple was working on analagous tools for their GUI (i.e. AppleScript). I suspect that led Microsoft to go a wee bit overboard on their new shell, and create something that relatively few people have the background to use effectively.
