Hiyo!

Yep, aliases help. Also, verbs are standardized. That example was a bit hyperbolic.

Most of my work is in Linux nowadays, but for me, jq, yq, and other text manipulation software and shell features in bash/zsh will always take a back seat to using the standard commands that ship with PowerShell. I wince every time I see a co-worker using a pipeline full of parse-and-pray greps and awks that is fancy af and amazing, but also, maybe not as nice or consistent as working with objects.

I will say though, you might say "PowerShell is more convenient in many scenarios," not that it's more advanced.
