With tabcompletion you do not need to have aliases, but you need to name your commands in a sane way, having the meaningless words forst like powershell does is really cumbersome for tabbing. Examples: Where-, Get-, Remove-, Export-, From-, Select-, Invoke-

Nice list of aliases though.

Menu completion is even better if you haven't tried it!

FWIW I'm talking about CLI, I have little experience with menu completion, but how does menu completion solve the Get-<TAB> problem it will give too many hits and parsing that will take too long. Menu-completion in Intellij, and it's ilk, is more about discoverablity than fast typing then you can take your time parsing the output.
