Do you have any insights on how someone who is used to the text-only world of Bash transition to using Powershell cmdlets?

The problem I run into is that it just feels like so much typing to me. I have to read documentation. All the attributes HaveReallyLongNamesThatContainCapitalLetters. By the time I've made my beta version of the command I want to run, I feel like I need to open a text editor to finish it. Maybe add some error checking. Some comments too. Maybe a unit test or three. And now I have an entire project and all I wanted to do was add a line of text to the end of a file.

Part of the problem on my part is my own ignorance of the APIs and what commands are available to me. But it all seems too verbose to use practically. The Powershell language seems very good for what you would write a shell script to do, but for interactive commands, I have a hard time believing that people use it. It's just so verbose.

We are starting to solve the command line problem in Commandeer. https://getcommandeer.com/iac-running-suite In the next few weeks we will be rolling out a Bash Runner. This is a preview of the Bash Runner Page - https://imgur.com/Eruzzv7
