So, that's kind of the beauty to me. For long lived scripts I can always type out `ForEach-Object { ... }`. When I'm ad-hocing there's always `%{ ... }`.

Bash is a strange beauty, but part of that beauty is how arcane it can be. Generally, people use the smallest parameter possible in scripts instead of the full name. While this can definitely continue with PS, the community has decided on "alias for ADHOC and Full-Name for scripts". This helps the readability tons if someone hasn't memorized all the command parameters.
