I wasn't trying to defend macOS. I am pointing out that Windows (which you adore) is also bad from a "power user" perspective.

macOS uses the standard command line shared by Linux and other Unix-like systems. Windows doesn't. The fact that it has two of these non standard systems is even worse. Are you saying it's actually better than using bash or zsh? If so then why hasn't anything else adopted something similar?

There are entire businesses built around automation tools that literally just write powershell scripts.

That's true for Linux too. It's true for any good programmable CLI as that's the point of having a programmable CLI in the first place.

You're incredibly biased towards Microsoft in a way I just don't understand.

Also your talking as if I am a current macOS user. I am not. I use mainly Windows but I have experience with all three systems. All are bad in their own ways and all are good in their own areas.
