Anything in particular you think would be difficult/impossible in Nushell?

(I'm one of the Nushell developers, might be able to help or put features on the roadmap)

Honesty, I believe this because of the maturity of powershell and not any inability in nushell. Having literally the number of commandlets and having entire .net framework available makes powershell have more options.

Additionally, pretty much every Windows Server feature is commandable with powershell. Some (much?)_ of the UI stuff in windows is just using powershell under the hood.

That said. I am _very much_ looking forward to using nushell when I use linux or wsl. And I wish your team great success. Linux needs it.

Yeah, we're probably never going to be able to compete with PowerShell's sheer volume of Windows integration points. Shelling out to pwsh is probably the best we can do in some situations.
