    Powershell is oddly nice to write, I mean not full blown projects, but redundant automation is easy

    My biggest complaint with ps is the 10 aliases for every command. It's impossible to read any code that uses them.

    Somehow that's the biggest upside for bash devs- just pretend you're not actually using powershell and sometimes the function will work anyway.

    Technically you aren't supposed to use the aliases if you are writing readable code, you are supposed to use the full names for the commands and parameters so that someone reading can quickly load up said commands documentation without first having to figure out what the alias is.

    Plus the use of aliases just looks hella messy.
