Bash rocks because it is about the user and the OS. Powershell is about one thing, Microsoft and the ugliness of ItS CumBerSomE-SynTaX Du-Jour is proof.

- psd1 2y agoBash is about the user? Are you serious? It's about what twenty people could sling together and make work on a Vax in the 80s in 4Kb. Powershell has regular syntax, legibility, a high degree of discoverability, and included batteries for things that bash victims reimplement again and again. It may not be the best shell for your purposes - it certainly won't run in 4Kb - but it wipes the floor with all legacy shells for usability. You're welcome to have an aesthetic opinion on the syntax, but you must be dead inside if you can look at an average bash script and not recoil in horror. Argument parsing? sed? Control statements? Quoting and escaping? "It's all about the user" is it fuck, you're on drugs.
