The "removing more and more GUI" part already felt like MS would jump on the Unix/Linux train and abandon their "all can be done via GUI" philosophy.

The PS and WSL story seemed like they tried to do better but gave up.

But what can I say, I'm no Windows guy, just talking from an outside view :)

The PowerShell story is pretty simple: a cross-platform, object oriented shell. Having used it, I attempted to locate a similar Linux solution, to no avail. I'm tired of cutting text and object translation makes my life a great deal more straightforward.

As for WSFL, it seems "Windows can run everything. Docket support is stellar" is a much more likely story than "we gave up and are slowly becoming Linux with a GUI".

They're working on the Linux solution bit: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell
