More precisely: at least one Raymond Chen is needed on every team in Microsoft.

Not really, anyone with a decent amount of experience.

Hm. If I don't include emoji and smileys in text, nobody understands jokes these days...

“More precisely:” is not how to start a joke, typically they are the opposite of precise.

To be fair, that's what led to Powershell and Command Prompt co-existing. I guess Microsoft wanted to reduce the number of console backends.

The shell(s) and console are two different things, I’m talking about the second.
Well, this is the kind of thing that happens when your whole team is interns and the "senior" is 28.
Reading the associated bugs on github I also learned that there were lots of complaints about the new console, not on features, but breaking compatibility that is. Guess no one thought to start a new project, rather than changing a 30 year-old one that hadn't been touched in 20.
TL;DR: At least one codger is needed on teams doing this kind of work to give perspective.
