You’re arguing that the power of PowerShell is pointless because you’ve resorted to alternatives to bash… because it’s not good enough for common scenarios.

This is Stockholm Syndrome.

You’ve internalised your limitations and have grown to like them.

No. bash as a shell is for interactive use or for automating said interactions. I want the computer to do stuff. The “everything is a file” and text oriented perspective in the unix world is just one model and bash is very suitable for it. Powershell is another model, just like lisp and smalltalk. I’m aware of the limitations of bash, but at the end of the day, it gets the job done and easily at that.
