Syntax is supposed to be composible and intuitive. One shouldn’t have to keep looking docs to find out how to do X. PowerShell has pretty bad, unimaginative and non-intuitive syntax. I was actually chosen many times to keep scripting in old dos syntax because that was more intuitive. Go look in to stackoverflow and forums where people struggle every day on how to do simple things.

I can easily program in C#, Java, C, C++, Swift, Python, etc, etc. There are subtle differences, sure, but generally the differences are minor. If they have difference in one area, they have plenty of similarities in others.

If these are flavors of ice cream, they're all pretty similar and taste good. Where is Powershell in this? It's certainly not vanilla or chocolate... it's more like pepperoni. It's like C# and Perl had a really ugly baby. Even simple things like using -eq and -ne for comparisons seems 40 years out of date.
