Can you expand on this? What do you mean by it's "mostly not-a-shell."? I don't understand it.

- einpoklum 4y agoIt's mostly a scripting language whose commands communicate with each other, which also let's you issue commands interactively. In an actual shell, programs and commands communicate with the _user_ via textual output that the user can read and understand; and other programs can take the place of the user, reading and parsing the textual output instead. That's not what happens in PowerShell, mostly.
