> the super verbose naming

Isn’t long names but short aliases the pragmatic way of solving the naming problem? “ls” or “dir” is perfect when typing interactive but in a long program I don’t mind typing something longer out.

Startup perf is definitely an issue but otoh that doesn’t feel like a design decision that couldn’t be fixed.

But then you have 2 names to remember.

PowerShell's approach to naming is divisive. I'm not saying it's objectively bad, but I'm in the camp that doesn't like it.
