This article gets it all wrong: The ls command does one thing well (LiSting files) and it isn't optimized for terminal size, it's optimized for PROGRAMMER productivity. The ls command gives you a default view that is exactly what you want most of the time and is easily copy/pastable for other uses (it's a single column) or more importantly, piped to some other program for further processing. And then there are easy-access options for common tasks (extra details, hidden files, sorting by attributes, etc...) Powershell largely does exactly what the author is talking about. And yet it's completely unusable for interactive use (though it's great for writing longer-lived automations).
