I take a super utilitarian view. At the end of the day, PowerShell on Linux is another tool in the toolchest. PowerShell has a POV about abstracting gorp into high level task oriented abstractions, object pipelines, structured data, and the workflow from interactive shells to ad hoc scripts to formal scripts to production scripting. That is what a number of people are looking for in their tools and that is why they like PowerShell. We are constantly looking for ways to improve PowerShell and make it more useful so I'd encourage you to suspend disbelieve long enough to kick the tires. If you see some stuff you don't like, I would be very interested in hearing the details. You don't need to be polite in your feedback but I'd ask you to be specific so that I can identify potential changes. If you are happy with your existing tools - happy days! Thanks!

So what? > PowerShell has a POV about abstracting gorp into high level task oriented abstractions, object pipelines, structured data, and the workflow from interactive shells to ad hoc scripts to formal scripts to production scripting. Meaningless word salad. > That is what a number of people are looking for in their tools and that is why they like PowerShell. They like powershell because you used a large word salad to describe the non-unique things it does? > We are constantly looking for ways to improve PowerShell and make it more useful so I'd encourage you to suspend disbelieve long enough to kick the tires. I have self respect and I'm not a total idiot. So no thanks. I have better things to do than be a guinea pig for another micropoop. > If you see some stuff you don't like, I would be very interested in hearing the details. That's like you asking me for details as to why I don't like directx. I don't like the fact that you decided to take existing ideas, bundle them into a closed pile of crap, market the shit out of it, and now spread propaganda on how great it is. Why didn't you contribute or fork a open source project, or initially create a community/open project? Powershell serves no real purpose but to increase microsoft revenue through marketing and microshills. > You don't need to be polite in your feedback but I'd ask you to be specific so that I can identify potential changes. As specific as your generic marketing word salad above? At least try to be honest. > If you are happy with your existing tools - happy days! Fuck off microshill.
