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.

    From an enterprise IT stance I’d disagree. For phython you need an interpreter, while powershell is available on every random windows 20xx server. It is far easier to do this task in PS than requesting the python interpreter to be installed on the machine and then doing it in python.
