I use powershell interactively 24/7. Its totally funny (and lame) that people complain about its verbosity since its not true (verbosity is optional) and that typically shows that person wasn't involved at learning it at all and thus can be ignored. Furthermore, there is an alias naming standard in posh, besides having all linux like names, they are usually named by first letter of verb and first and second word letter of noun (Get-ChildItem => gci; Get-Service => gsv; ) Then we have a parameter aliases, just use any unique subset of the its name ( -Computer => -C or -Co or -Com ... ) You can also customize those names with proxy cmdlets. All in all, almost 100% of the time PowerShell sentence is way shorter then equivalent bash sentence.
