Because they start at the conclusion and work backwards.
"It isn't what I'm used to, therefore bad, now let me figure out why." After that the length of commands is an easy target, in particular if you don't know enough about it to criticize it for anything substantive.
- katbyte 5y agoIt's a shell, I don't want to write a novel to get something done. bash is a bunch of small composable binaries that chain together easily. powershell is, was? not. length of commands IS important imho for a shell as I want to be able to quickly type out what I need to do and then move on
- psd1 5y agoI can code-golf in powershell. You could too, if you tried. Powershell is based on small composable commands that are easy to chain together - as you would know if you've used it at all. Valid criticisms exist of powershell. It baffles me why Linux refuseniks trot out such easily-discounted objections. My belief is that it's a figleaf over a political position: "I will never use a Microsoft product". We're on HN; that's an acceptable position. Why bullshit?
