“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
I don’t respect the attitude of doing whatever you’ve always done, even when working in a wildly different environment.
Imagine how Linux people would react if there were endless blog posts about using VB6 scripts on Linux by running them under WINE because “that’s what feels familiar.”
Sure, for a lark that’s hilarious, but not if you share your work with anyone else for any reason, even open source.

In fact someone should come up with a Linux distribution that uses NTFS, PowerShell, comes with .NET, WINE, and no coreutils and blog about it.
