cmd or powershell?

Powershell can do scripting.

bash

Powershell is by far the slowest interpreter I've ever used in interactive mode, this alone invalidates anything else for me.

CMD and BATCH are also horrible unusable garbage though with inconsistencies and esoteric bullshit.

On Windows between the 2 I'd use cmd as an interactive shell and powershell if I needed to script something for Windows.

If I had my choice I'd use TCSH for an interactive shell and target sh for scripting.

I know powershell is "microsoft's attempt at a good bash implementation on windows" but i can't for the sake of my life learn how to use it properly, just too complicated. I wish i was more proficient in it.

So I use cmd like 95% of the time. Wish i knew ps enough to use it full time

What ever happened to that ubuntu for windows bullshit they were talking about?

Unix utilities and the shells for using them got designed and built by programmers who wanted to use them to do their own work and to build other things. Powershell got designed by a large project group in a major multinational corporation when marketing studies indicated that the lack of a scripting language was becoming a competitive weakness. It shows.

i honestly only use powershell when cmd's line count is reached
