I'm glad that Microsoft is doing stuff like this. But, I can't imagine a lot of Linux users are going to want to use it. As a former Windows developer I always found Power Shell to be lacking in nearly everything I wanted to do on the command line, in fact, I mainly did shell commands on a remote Ubuntu server.

PS by comparison is a set of tools that try to be all encompassing and solve problems MS devs think people will have. Our PS repository is full of scripts that do nothing but abstract PS into useful high-level actions.
