Picture this: the PowerShell elite sitting in their ivory tower with their fancy cmdlets like Invoke-WebRequest , Get-ChildItem , and Select-String , looking all sophisticated and verbose. Meanwhile, down in the trenches, the bash peasants are making do with their humble curl , ls , and grep - commands so short you could tweet them in 2009! The absolute AUDACITY of PowerShell requiring you to type out an entire novel just to download a file or search through text. Why say lot word when few word do trick? The bash gang has been living their best minimalist life for decades while PowerShell users are over here developing carpal tunnel from typing out those unnecessarily long command names. But hey, at least PowerShell has that sweet, sweet tab completion, right? *nervous laughter*
