PowerShell is miles ahead of bash, sh, ksh, zsh etc when it comes to consistency. For instance: * All of the cmdlets follow the same verb-noun pattern. * There are only 40 or so standardized verbs, with guidelines for what they should be used for and how to choose the nouns. * Parameter names are also standardized * Parameters are parsed by the shell - not individual commands, which means that all cmdlets take parameters the same way, no strange differences like between dd, ls, find etc. * There's a set of standard parameters supplied by the shell that is common to all cmdlets, and which has the same function on all cmdlets (-ErrorAction, -WarningAction, etc). * Cmdlets are more single-purpose than typical unix commands. Take for instance unix "find". Why can a find command delete files and why can it execute other commands?? * PowerShell supplies scripting and expressions. Meaning that there no need for tools such as jq, awk, find, xargs etc, each with their own expression syntax.
