care to elaborate

In my experience, Powershell is so much nicer than bash that even on my work mac I tend to use it when doing stuff for me (not going to force it on my team)

Powershell originated on Windows and garnered a fan base on the platform. It's not much appreciated outside that niche and most people who like it are people who use or used it on Windows.

I get where you are coming from

I find it odd that you consider Windows and PowerShell a niche, when it seems to have been enthusiastically embraced by the community
