I did not say that, no.
I said that a lot of people (me included) are more used to Unix shell scripting. If PS had been released 30yrs ago, things wouldve probably been different.
People have however already become comfortable with Unix shells, so it needs significant improvements to convince them to switch the tool of choice. While PS does have improvements, they're not significant enough to relearn everything.
To me, Unix scripts are more readable though, this is simply because Ive been writing them for so many years now, while I barely touched any PS code.
