This makes no sense. Why would anyone on Mac or Linux do this? And to that point, why wouldn't you just buy a developer machine rather than shoehorning termin

  Things change sometimes. MacOS and linux could learn several things from windows, for example sting based shells feel as rickety as an old set of stairs after using microsoft’s object based shell.

    I keep reading this. However I rarely, if ever, see someone using posh for interactive usage on a daily basis. In fact I know more wsl users.

      I get it, I leaned bash and never really saw the need for powershell. I typically would write only very small shell scripts in bash, and everything else in Python. I had to learn some powershell to deploy a windows application and was immediately impressed by how much better pipelines were with objects vs strings, session object persistence, being able to call C# if needed, and so on. I reach for powershell when I need something more complicated than is practical for me to do in bash, but notso big or complicated that I would need to go to python. Saves me a lot of time and is pleasant to write.

  It's a (better) terminal, for Windows. Mac and Linux have got nothing to do with it.

  With WSL windows is a first class developer machine now. I don’t know about you but I rather use apt install xyz on Windows than using home brew on Mac.
