Sorry, but that is all crap. Everything is equally approachable on the Windows. Powershell is light years ahead compared to any Linux shell. Chocolatey is maybe most up to date package manager around, on par with Arch. One thing where I would use Linux over Windows any time is IoT simply due to size and price. Windows nano version is still pain compared to mini Linux distros.

I would love a PowerShell example that finds files in a directory tree matching a file name pattern, filters those files to those that contain a specific string in their contents, and then prints the filenames to a single output file.

  In the root dir: ls -Recurse glob | ? { (gc $_ -Raw) -match pattern } | Out-File result.log Not tested, typed on phone before bad half a sleep.

Powershell is a good example of what was made after everyone could see that the momentum just wasn't there. It's far from enough to turn the tide. The market will turn sooner or later of course, but not back to what was before. Package managers is also a good example. Everything is third party and nothing is default. They must be configured to work with your instance of git and python and whatnot. And who knows if the tools expect a case sensitive file system, or wants to open a socket in a mode that doesn't work, or use a certificate store that isn't the system default, or some script that expects a network interface that just isn't there. You are free to hold your own opinion of course. But if you work with Node or Python or other things that cloud apps are built from, most people will stick to whatever everyone else uses. That's just the reason it is like it is. It's the same dynamic that kept Microsoft close to a monopoly in the office era. It's great that people use other platforms too in order to keep portability of our tools high, but as for the cloud era, the market is unlikely to change much from here. We'll be stuck with the web for a while, and it runs on Linux.
