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.

    My favourite for writing ‘advanced’ scripts is Ruby. It’s highly ergonomic for this kind of thing, with its backtick-feature.
