It'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?
