powershell for unix

In general I really dislike "[some other product] for [a different use case]". It might be accurate but many potential users might never have heard of PowerShell or if they have only have a vague idea of what it is.

I find it hard to believe that someone looking into alternative shells would have never heard of PowerShell. I get that Windows isn’t exactly most people’s OS of choice, but the existence of PowerShell is widely known.

I know that fish shell exists but I have absolutely no idea what distinguishes it from bash or zsh, both of which I use regularly. The extent of my knowledge comes from seeing the name in a HN title.

It's not hard to imagine the same for PowerShell.
