No, actually it's quite apt.

PowerShell, or at least the concept behind PowerShel, is an improvement/superset over the Unix shells -- and can do whatever the shells can do, plus stuff they cannot do, because they don't support typed entities.

Its problems are not technical or conceptual -- they are ecosystem and historical: lack of compatible tools, windows-only, etc.

Or to the point of the original parent: the industry considers powershell a solution in search of a problem.

Only those that disregard the inventions from Xerox and ETHZ.

Powershell ideas go back to how REPLs work in those environments.
