The whole thing took about a minute to write and a second to run. It confirmed that some of his folders had a problem and told him which ones they were. How would you do this in Windows?

I'm so tired of this. Just because you don't already know Powershell and are too lazy to learn doesn't mean it doesn't exist. A know-nothing Windows user might as well say, "If I want to select and move arbitrary files on Windows, I can point and control-click in seconds. How would you do that in the Linux CLI?" In both instances, it comes across as ignorant to anyone who actually knows the ecosystem being derided.

I work in the Windows sphere at work and I really like Powershell. It has a ton of great features out of the box (especially for parallelism) as well as solid bread and butter operations. Although it's a bit verbose and not as mature as Bash it's essential to know for any Windows developer.
