I have used bash, zsh, ksh, and now powershell. I am by no means an expert on UNIX shells. I could get all my work done on any one of these. My main shell is Zsh with some oh-my-zsh plugins because I’m lazy. What can you do in powershell that you can’t do in any other shell? Also, does the shell you use even matter? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

    Well, it is powerful it can do everything that coreutils do and more. It works with objects instead of strings so you simply can do more with it, it has built in support for json and csv and probably a lot more, it has built-in package manager. It has the worst syntax I’ve seen.

      I switched my one windows pc over to nushell, because I couldn’t wrap my head around psh syntax.
