The reason I dismissed Powershell was that it doesn't always play nicely with existing POSIX tools, which is very much not a superficial reason :)

Murex aims to give Powershell-style types but still working seamlessly with existing CLI tools. An attempt at the best of both worlds. But I'll let others be the judge of that.

It's also worth noting that Powershell wasn't available for Linux when I first built murex so it wasn't an option even if I wanted it to be.
