PowerShell is great. Just objectively better than Bash for scripting.

I think the lack of adoption in the Linux world is a mix of:

* Cultural (i.e. it's Microsoft) * Not included out of the box * Existing tools being 'good enough'

> objectively better than Bash for scripting

This is a wild statement

Bash scripting is so bad that being better than it is actually setting the bar rather low.

The only thing more remarkable than bash's cruftyness is the number of people who have developed Stockholm syndrome towards it.

I'm baffled sometimes that basically all of Nix is built on top of it

Objectively is the new literally.

Just read “in my opinion”.
