Interesting move.
Can be used over ssh.
Used it quite a bit on windows, but always had to have to MS reference up. The two-word hyphenated commands don't stick in memory as well as the short shell commands. Never really found it more capable in any way than bash. (other than native json handling -- but that's what jq is for). I guess this will help the windows folks working on Linux, but seriously doubt it would pull in shell users from Linux (unless you have to ssh into a windows box and maintain it -- then that sounds pretty cool) Even so, on my windows installs, I always set to option to keep command prompt and not replace it with PowerShell. If I want powershell -- I know where to find it in the menu... The nice thing about PowerShell is you can alias 'x' to exit like I do with bash :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
