The real question is who uses Powershell for Linux
I'm not gonna lie, I tried it out of sheer curiosity
raises hand sheepishly
Honestly Powershell is an awesome scripting language. Having it open source and cross platform is great. I used it on my Mac, we have it in our Linux pipelines and having integrated support for it in Jenkins makes it easy to use everywhere.
I know people like to beat up on MS but Powershell is a great shell experience once you get past the learning curve.
I couldn't get past cmdlets. I want to pronounce it "cummuddlets", but I think it is supposed to be "commandlets" and I wonder who has the time to be saying that every time.
I'm sure if you have for example windows and linux machines to manage it has applications xD
Wait that's a thing? Oh, gods. I'm almost tempted, just to see what that's like, but... no. 😂
