I find it horrifically verbose. Granted, there are a decent number of aliases, but some pretty basic stuff requires 3 words separated by hyphens. Way easier to just use bash on WSL on windows 10 machines.

I feel like that makes it readable. Even people who don't know PS very well can read cmdlets and pretty much know what's going on if you use the full verbose cmdlets.

I think when scripts are over 1k LOC the naming of functions can get pretty unwieldly when trying force everything to fit into the approved verb-noun mantra.

Over 1K LOC I'd want to be using a proper programming language rather than shell scripting, whether it was Windows or Linux.
