This is how I felt powershell ought to go on Linux - parsers from every config format to a common intermediate and back, argument completers for every common shell command to a standard intermediate representation. I think that’s a losing battle as well due to the brittle nature, any tweak to any command output could break something, meaning endless maintenance work on a large scale. Rewriting concepts into new commands at least bring consistency and a chance of shrinking maintenance work as it settles on a nice design - and if not the maintenance won’t be endless rebuilds of the same parsers.
