I'm sorry, are you a shell user? Since when ~, for example, is easy to type and - is hard to type? LOL.

First of all your backstory is wrong, it was a 1-person project. Then, about the features, all those long, explicit commands have short versions.

Secondly, I agree that Powershell feels a bit alien on Unix, which will probably be the main reason its adoption will never be amazing.

For a long time the Windows equivalent of ~ was %USERPROFILE% which was definitely harder to type than ~. Eventually they introduced the shortcut on Windows too.
