I have the same feeling of limitation when using Windows. As someone who's used to Linux and other UNIXy systems, the idea of having and using GUI software on servers is... distasteful to me, to put it mildly. GUI configuration makes changes easy, but change management extremely difficult, which is not a good combination. Therefore I struggle with administering Windows because there is no useful editor by default when you use it remotely over the console, leading to a lot of friction to just "browsing around" on a remote Windows machine, and most of the time installing what I need is not an option due to the lack of a default, trusted package manager. (though that might be changing, finally) While PowerShell is, well, powerful and nowadays there's at least OpenSSH for for secure and convenient remote access, unfortunately it's rarely installed and PowerShell over SSH is still very janky and even when it's there, many things assume a GUI, which is anything but convenient to me. My workflows tend to use SSH all over the place to make remote access transparent.
