You know that they can be shortened right? Get-ChildItem = gci

I for one really like PowerShell, if it could consume bash completions I would switch to using it as my $SHELL. Right now I'm leaning to switch from ZSH to Xonsh (Python).

Reason for liking PowerShell: C# compability, OOP, semi-sane syntax.

You can do type definitions, serde multiple formats into native structures.

Anyone who criticizes pwsh’s verbosity has never actually used it. It comes with great aliases by default and fuzzy matches switches to shorten them.

I don’t use many tools outside cmdlets or pwsh built-ins, but have you turned on history completions and menu complete? I find that I don’t need completions for external commands since history complete will just remember what I did last time.
