As a generalist with many operating systems in use, I like that this tells you what OS the command is for. Especially now that powershell with its many unix-like aliases is getting popular, this isn't always evident.

> powershell with its many unix-like aliases

This choice simply baffles me. If I could just use those aliases and have it under the hood be PS calls- that's great! But that's not what's happening, instead it's a totally different command with different a different syntax and different flags. Why make it an alias at all‽

Yeah, alright. As the former "PowerShell guy" for an office of 200+ people when I still preferred WSL and bash, I can definitely accept this answer.
