I think one of the biggest peeves of mine with powershell is they dumped you into a god awful console. I dunno if this has changed much but good lord was the console horrible. No resize, nasty font, nasty color scheme, scroll back sucked, command history sucked, pain in the arse copy & paste.

Also the commands were super long. Sure there was the ability to alias them to something shorter but still....

That being said... powershell has a lot of potential.

(Also I’m woefully out of date... I haven’t touched powershell in a decade. I hope somebody tells me it’s all better now)



Its better.

Windows Terminal is gr8 and removes all those problems. You have alternatives too like ConEmu.

Long commands are OK, use aliases. Bash has long command arguments too and nobody complains.

Saying Powershell has a lot of potential is kinda lame - its best of them all.


Awesome to hear! I was hoping somebody would tell me it got way better.
