Well it might work as a joke, but I have to say that I had more than enough experiences with Powershell that drastically disprove that notion in my opinion. That is not to say that bash and consorts are much better, but e.g. a shell that decides to arbitrarily violate its normal error handling logic based on internal voodoo heuristics about if it's running in a console or not [1] is pretty much the total antithesis of sanely architected in my book. As in: Architecture must be the reason someone thought this insane scheme has any merit. And arbitrarily starting to throw exceptions whenever a subprocess dares to write to stderr, especially if the shell doesn't do this in normal operation, doesn't get any other label than "insane" from me.
