On: The Renaissance of the Shell?

[koffiezet]

In my (limited) powershell experience, it's a "scripting first" shell, while bash is more of a a cli-first shell.

Using a powershell cli is very verbose (although pretty consistent), but using it without some sort of GUI helper if you're not familiar with it is pretty daunting.

I would agree with that. I think the verbosity arguments do have some merit. I normally write scripts with the ISE or VSCode with a plugin.

Also there are lots of extensions that you are kinda just supposed to know about e.g. dba-tools extensions.
