- godtoldmetodoit 6y agoGot about a quarter of the way through and none of it applied to modern Powershell.
- _carbyau_ 6y agoReading that link, even back when it was written it feels like an article of first impressions with the bias of someone comfortable with many hours of use of a Unix shell. 1. Powershell isn't a complete greenfield and exists in a context, which explains many of the complaints. 2. any new tech use requires learning. I could address each point but most galling was the conclusion: "At this point we realise the truth — PowerShell is not designed to be an actual shell for users" Because wget did not output to a file by default?!? Really?!? IMO, this article failed to hit the mark back in 2014 when it was written let alone now. Edit: conciseness
