Why do you think that? I find PowerShell quite neat and more consistent than what bash and alike has to offer.

It does "resume on error" by default.

It got script languages issues: The last line of your huge script may be syntaxically invalid. Here you start thinking "why I didn't wrote it in my favorite statically compiled language"

Yes, it's still more consistent than what bash and alike has to offer, but it's still behind if you compare it to any language that you can write to a file.

The only advantage it got against them, it's the huge API on windows.

Sadly I wanted to use Powershell functions from C#, tought it would be easy because Powershell use .NET Core, but it's far from easy.
