Don't forget there is still Cygwin. I recently had to work on Windows, and Cygwin was actually the rescue, with a terminal which just works and proper bash commands that put PowerShell at shame.
I guess WSL is similar but still painful/impossible to install if you don't have BIOS access for enabling CPU virtualization.
- criddell 5y agoWhat can you do in bash that can't be done in PowerShell? To me, it always felt like there is a lot more stuff you can do in PowerShell. For example, it's easy to read the registry, create COM objects, etc...
- satya71 5y agoNever bothered learning powershell, it’s just too verbose for my taste. bash has been my shell for two decades, not going to change anyone soon.
- xxs 5y agowhy bother learning powershell, as it's extremely unlikely to run in production (or any other linux box) environment. Bash works well and it's ubiquitous with tons of documentation.
