What do people think of powershell?

meh. I just use git bash

who needs it?

Something that tries to fill the void of linux shell but fails miserably

hell no, on windows i only use the Win10 Subsystem for Linux, which lets you use the real deal: Bash.

Install the Linux Subsystem on Windows 10 - MSDN - Microsoft

But yeah powershell has it's usecases and it's definitely better than the win commandline promt. Microsoft even released a refresh of powershell which let you use more colors.

Alright.

But kinda overcomplicate a lot of things and lack some neat wrappers & helpers. Imo.

i use it as school to fuck with stuff

@lotd but it makes otber things a lot easier. A friend of mine recently installed powershell on ubuntu because of that.

Makes my job more interesting and saves lots of time. Can even do basic GUIs with winforms or WPF. Especially great for windows admin and maintenance.

I use it a lot myself for AD, exchange and Skype for business

@jAsE It's pretty useful. Have you ever used it?

@jAsE It's not really replacing it. At least not in Win10.

I find it confusing where you run ipconfig in CMD and it works, you run it in powershell and it works. Thing is though, Microsoft have created a get- command for powershell to replace ipconfig!

I don't like it. It's almost disgusting to type "ls"and get the "dir"output :p
It might be better than cmd, but it's way behind bash and zsh.

The most amazing thing in the entire fucking universe!!!
