I'm a bash guy. I'd heard of Powershell and thought it was interesting that Windows finally had something like bash. But back then I didn't use Windows. More recently I had the need to do some scripting for Windows so naturally I looked at Powershell and was excited thinking it would "just like home". It was awful. More like writing Java code than scripting. Except weirdly heterogeneous and ad hoc. I also had to use weird hacks to stop it corrupting every text file with BOM crap. I can't help but thinking the praise Powershell got is just because Windows people have suddenly realised there's more to life than point and click. Well no shit, guys. This is why we've been using Linux this whole time.
