Microsoft is driving fragmentation with Powershell. It doesn’t really matter if it’s better than bash or not. Bash is good enough for most use cases. Yet e.g. so many of their examples for using cloud apis are in powershell, which instantly alienates everyone who doesn’t want to commit learning a redundant tool.

It expresses an arrogance and disregard for their users and makes a group of people just walk away from it. That’s totally unnecessary.
