This isn't really an argument against what I said. You can pick and choose your shell language based on preference for syntax. You generally learn a human language because you have to for one reason or another. I think bash has an unintuitive syntax, and I think powershell's is more readable

If languages were intuitive, it wouldn't take years to learn them.
Okay? Are we still talking about preferred shells or are we talking about chinese
We're talking about how your argument made no sense, for any kind of language that exists.
Computer languages are not comparable to human languages; your argument is a misplaced simile
I've never had any problem with understanding bash scripts.

But I had to learn. No programming language is "intuitive", and certainly not power shell.
