No thanks. PowerShell seems to have all sorts of crazy gotchas in addition to the weird syntax. For example, if I understand correctly, your "cat $path" won't actually work for all filenames, because "cat" is an alias [1] for "Get-Content -Path" which will expand wildcards in the filename [2][3], so you have to know to use "-LiteralPath" instead of you want it to work properly. And then there's Microsoft's telemetry, which is enabled by default.
