Powershell is pretty powerful. You can do basically the same things as in bash. However because of its youth, some equivalent tools are missing.

- GeneralMayhem 12y agoPowerShell is cool, but it requires learning PowerShell. Why should there be an entirely separate learning process to be able to work normally on just one OS?
- cwyers 12y agoWell, because Windows is not Unix. It's not even "not Unix" the way Linux isn't Unix. Its heritage is mostly VMS and CP/M, if you want to compare it to anything. Trying to treat Windows as a Unix is a very leaky abstraction that is going to cause many more problems than it solves.
- vertex-four 12y agoWhy do you think all operating systems should follow one single architecture? Why should there be an entirely separate learning process from C to learn Lisp or Haskell?
- astrodust 12y ago"Basically the same" and yet absolutely not the same. The world did not need PowerShell.
- voltagex_ 12y agoThe world didn't, but Windows admins did. It's allowed a lot of people to migrate away from legacy VBScript. You don't want to program in VBScript, trust me.
