> we're always looking to lower the barrier of entry to get into PowerShell

I’ve used powershell regularly since way back when (it was still called monad when I first tied it).

I’m extremely comfortable in the Windows environment but even yesterday I found it easiest to shell out to cmd.exe to pipe the output of git fast-export to stop powershell from messing with stdout (line feeds)

I really like the idea of a pipeline that can pass more than text streams but it absolutely has to be zero friction to pipe the output of jq, git (and awk, sed etc for oldies like me) without breaking things.

We've fixed a ton of these in PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe, as opposed to Windows PowerShell / powershell.exe), particularly because we needed to support Linux and more of its semantics.

If you're seeing issues within PowerShell 7, please file issues against us at github.com/powershell/powershell

The inability to handle simple text is my #1 annoyance. For the rest of them, see jiggawatts's comment
