> It's even easy to move several files 'next to' each other in the window. It's not easy to move files matching a particular name, or across multiple folders.

This is nonsense. Just embrace PowerShell.

    gci | where name -match $regex | move-item $destination

Instead of learning a young, new language, I could just boot into Linux and used an established operating system?

I don't understand this mentality of 'Windows must be better'. PowerShell is alright, but as the article pointed out, the Windows terminal experience is terrible. Even the OG terminal interface on linux is better (supports copy paste with mouse for one thing).

You do you. But don’t call something inferior or say it can’t do something because you’re too lazy to learn how to use it.

Yeah, lets go back to the stone age and use abacus, a well establish computing system.

PowerShell is 16 years old. Your kids should know it by this point. Mine do.

> the Windows terminal experience is terrible.

Was terrible. Bash is still terrible, even the creators do not like it, and it has nothing to do with terminal experience.

Lets do it in linux friendlier way:

    ls |? name -match $regex | mv $destination
