    Being very familiar with bash/zsh etc, and somewhat forced to use Windows, I’ve tried to learn use PowerShell. My impression is basically, what? Why would I do this? The design is intriguing but the verbosity is awful.

      It is not meant just for powershell; it combines all the shells on windows plus support of fit, bash/zsh in WSL.

      I use Linux daily for development and a MacBook for a laptop; having to go from extensive terminals back to shitty blue windows was painful.

      The new Terminal has been the best addition MS has added to windows in a long while.

        Sure, I gather that the topic is something other than regular PowerShell. This is actually the first I’ve heard of it. I’ll check it out, thanks!
