When there's a retail-grade desktop os built with capabilities as a foundational feature, it will want a shell with appropriate primitives and an ergonomic syntax for them.

Pwsh is not the last word on shells, but it does have automatic cast from string to FileInfo. Ergonomically, it kicks the shit out of legacy shells.

Too bad every command takes a full second to execute. At some point, just use Python.

Total FUD. Nobody would tolerate that. I would not tolerate that.

If it adds more than 2ms to invocations, post your $profile script.
