As a regular Windows, Linux (via WSL), and macOS user, I'm not confused by the curl/wget alias in Powershell, and I appreciate it. I understand from context that it's not actually curl and has different options. It's much easier than remembering whatever Invoke-HyperText-Transfer-Protocol-Request -Url incantation that's native to Powershell.

Sure, it's not confusing once you know about it and remove it.

But, when you install the actual curl and it doesn't work the way you expect, then it's both irritating and confusing. Horrible choice by MSFT.
