    Nonsense, c# developers might install it on Linux but nobody who understands unix like systems considers it

        I use it daily, there is no point putting it on a unix like system

        One day we will be rid of windows servers and I won’t have to use poweshell ever again

          And that’ll be a sad day; powershell is one of approximately two great things that Microsoft ever did.

          It’s a little verbose in its commands, but it’s very good.

      This is incorrect. And the GNU tools would be much better if they were object-oriented like PS is. No I don’t have PS on my personal machines (Cachy btw) but that’s genuinely a super great feature. It’s an idea who’s time has come (ages ago)

      That might be true if *NIX had another shell with an object-based pipeline, or if PowerShell wasn’t object-based

      I’d argue most people who dismiss PowerShell offhand like that don’t understand it particularly well

        Most gnu / bad tools are essentially objects, you just have to xarg the column you want

        Object orientated anything is pretty terrible

          Yeah, having to take the extra steps to parse strings every time is far superior to objects that can sort, filter, and give you the exact properties you need natively

          I mean, if your complaint is a heavier overhead, sure, but for most uses as an interactive shell or for smaller scripts, I don’t really see how that would negatively impact you in meaningful ways compared to having to splice raw text and hope the package maintainer doesn’t decide to add a column in a future update
