Did you try Powershell?

• kabdib 13y ago
  Yup. I'm not going to get into a vacuous PowerShell bashing discussionlet here, but let's just say that PS didn't fulfill the promises the documentation made. I found that the marshaling semantics were often quite surprising and required awkward workarounds (really don't unflatten lists of people, okay?). I second the "everything is about five syllables" and sure, you can set up aliases, but I went through that hell on VAX/VMS and don't want to go back.

  I've tried powershell, but it still seems to launch in that same ancient command window they've used for years with the exceptionally strange copy & paste characteristics (seriously, why can't it copy wrapped multi-line wrapped commands without inserting newlines when I paste?). Also why does it want to scroll past the end of the buffer? Ugh. Plus why are all the built-in commands like 20 characters long and camel cased?

    The built-in commands are aliased, which is probably the most infuriating part; clearly they thought it necessary to name the listing functionality 'Get-ChildItem' and refer to it by that in all the documentation so as not to blow our pretty little sysadmin minds when we discover ls/dir could list more than directories now. Who knew Microsoft was fractal in nature? Anyway, if you have to suffer PowerShell at least do it in the ISE.

    You need ConEmu.
