sort of hard to argue against powershell being a far more modern and sensible thing than the rest, despite not being as useful for more practical reasons

also checkbox polls are the best polls, so it all works out op

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
i like powershell, too bad it has version iteration issues between OS'

I don't think they're ever going to have a singular version of it that works 1:1 on every platform. one of the versions is always going to be missing cmdlets or functionality, forcing you to reinvent the wheel or reverse engineer whatever the gently caress MS did on Server 2069: Dongle edition

one of my co's is always looking for the next homeopathic software tool to save him from having to understand anything

yesterday he asked how to do something, so I started to type a command on his computer and pressed tab for file completion and that caused the shell window to hang

he said "this is zshell" and I asked why he was using it with a broken autocomplete and he just giggled. he'd do this with every tool given the chance

For a multiple-choice poll how is this in any way useful? Shouldn't it have the number of voters?
