I hate how long the PowerShell comand names are. Yes they are sensible but arg. Eg grep vs Select-String as the article mentions.

Select-String is alisased to sls and if you are writing a one-liner or using it from shell - just use the alias.

It is recommended that you use full names in scripts for readability reasons so most script examples on the web have those long obnoxious names.

Also, tab completion works really well with command argument names so in practice it's not that many keystrokes.

Seems like arbitrary comment as you can have all forms in powershell.
