I think the whole value of the Unix tool ecosystem is that you don't need to build large pieces of software. If you look at all the GUI tools that Microsoft had to build for Windows administration in the earlier days and how they eventually came out with PowerShell because of the inadequacy of those tools, you can see how successful Unix tools have been by the --lack-- of big software that does their job.

- pjmlp 5y agoWindows automation did not require Powershell, we were doing all of that with VBScript and JScript before alongside Technet Resource Kit. Also Powershell doesn't get much love from UNIX heads.
