Bash has its warts too. Treating everything as strings can cause headaches when filenames have spaces. As a long-time Linux user who recently learned some powershell, I find Bash rather primitive after getting accustomed to an environment where everything is an object.

I wonder how feasible it would be to build a powershell-like environment for Linux on top of Python.

Well, you could just run PS itself.

It's probably doable with time... and (mostly because nobody's directly linked to it yet) the official Powershell is now on github under the MIT license:
