But man,powershell is lightyears ahead of any *nix alternative. In particular, JEA for security and invoke-command (imagine running a block of code in parallel on multiple machines and get results locally) and other common cmdlets like import-csv where on something like bash you do have the capacity to do write a function that does these things but powershell provides these using a consistent interface,much like stdlibs do in application programming languages. After using powershell,using bash felt like trying to use C without it's stdlib. I think it's just windows' way of making up for nor having the equivalent of GNU userland tools like awk,sed and grep.
