If powershell wasn’t a Microsoft product I think it could easily outclass any shell currently available. The concept of command output typing is hand down one of the best features of any shell I’ve tried.
I’m confused by this command output typing you’re talking about, and I’m not sure if I found the correct thing. Are you talking about the Write-Host and Write-Output?
It was my stepping stone from being an IT Support tech to a traditional Software Developer. Yes it’s not as easy to work with as a traditional language or as fast but it’s more flexible and often less verbose.
Powershell is actually powerful. You can write full on WPF grafical user interfaces with it.

As far as I understand it it’s like stdout and stderr but with some additional ones for debuging, logging, etc…
How is it being a Microsoft product a bad thing? It’s fully open source and available on both Linux and Windows;
also nushell
Microsoft has literally invented EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish).
They didn’t embrace anything with PowerShell, it’s just a Microsoft product.
I was just pointing out why people are suspicious of MS.
Of course you can, but why would you?
