True to a degree, but I only had to put a few hours into bash and I haven't found anything I can't do. I've spent a fair amount on PowerShell and keep running into hurdles. I found no less than 5 ways to add text from a certain process to a file. PS did it, but something like 800x slower than Python and Perl. The only fast way I can find is a direct C# implementation in PS using streams. Why so harsh? There is a lot I like such as being able to build GUI's faster than anything out there (except Red or Rebol), but the language fights you at every step. I was aware that mostly everything was supposed to be an object. This is great for certain IT work, but just adds complexity for others. I have to then hunt for properties I want like "-property name" and it usually ends up as another rabbit hole.
