It's clear that PowerShell implements a more modern design, but that doesn't instantly make it better or more powerful. It's just different.
Unix still works fine; we know its quirks, and we work around them. We try to improve it in some areas, but back track in others. We might even tackle object passing some day, and some development has been done in that[0] area[1].
But that's the good thing: Unix (certain variants more than others) is open to change and anything (mostly) goes, and it's not produced by a single corporation. One that is embracing open source more recently[2], sure, but a corporation none the less.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 9y agoOh I agree that trusting Microsoft is not a wise move, I'm just disappointed in the way the open source community clings to such archaic tools and methodologies when there is a demonstrably superior approach. Maybe you're all "that's just, like, your opinion man", but I think if you actually used both Powershell and the UNIX toolset day to day, you'd find that it is objective fact.
