I just find everything so convoluted in Powershell, don't get me wrong its much less painful than using cmd but compared to a bash shell I find myself tearing my hair out! I think things would be easier if I was a .NET coder but im not and I miss the basic simplicity of things like `where` from bash vs having to create an entire script to just find executables on the path!
- flukus 10y agoI'm a .net coder, it's no better. I still use cygwin.
- voycey 10y agoCheck out the new Ubuntu Bash thing on Windows 10, its pretty impressive for most things and doesnt have the idiosyncrasies that Cygwin has :)
- flukus 10y agoI have, I stick with cygwin because it has better interoperability with the rest of windows. Ubuntu bash is more like using a virtual machine.
