I beg to differ, and not only because I code-golf in PowerShell. Aliases and the ability to shorten arguments while they're unambiguous both are features that have no use for scripts, but are very handy for an interactive shell. I never type things like Get-ChildItem -Path ~ -Recurse if I can help it, instead it almost always is something like ls ~ -r I guess -Recurse only ever appears there if I hit [⇄] for parameter completion. Sadly there are far too many people who only know bash and see straightforward conversions of VBScript into PowerShell and think the language sucks or is too verbose.
