For me I genuinely think Powershell is fewer keystrokes than the equivalent terse bash. A lot of this is a question of heavily using history and editing old commands rather than writing new ones. And the old commands are legible so it's easy to tweak on the fly. Tab completion/history completion are really powerful. (You do need to enable PSReadline though, which is not out-of-the-box.)
