For me it's no so much a "Microsoft is inferior because linux did this first" as it is "Why the hell are they only just copying this now?"

What? PowerShell has been around for 11 years already!

Furthermore, a console scripting language was added precisely because many people were bending Microsoft's ear and asking for one. Say what you like about Microsoft, but they've got a long consistent history of responding to customer requests and feedback; granted it took them years to respond to this request, though (!).

But terminals 11 years ago were already more advanced. So, yeah, I'd echo the "wtf took so long?"

All the resources in the world but absolutely glacial progress.
