> MS did a lot to turn their lame "DOS command prompt" into a command line terminal; not enough, but a lot.

Then they made PowerShell, which removes any complaints one might have!

My main complaint with PowerShell is that you can't pipe one command to another.
What do you mean? You can do stuff like this:

ps | where { $_.name -like "*host" } | foreach { $_.id | out-host }

Well, not any. For example, still no built-in decent package manager able to download and install software along with dependencies.
I didn't know bash or zsh had a built-in package manager!
I didn't know "command line terminal" equals "bash or zsh"!

Of course I'm talking ecosystem here.

You may be moving your goal posts here a bit.
I believe he/she was being sarcastic there :)
