  • This.

    And I didn’t even realize just how exhausting it had gotten until I switched and, even with having to relearn how to do certain things, just never felt like I was having to fight with it. It doesn’t change things and move things around on you at random, it doesn’t pester you constantly to do things unless you explicitly set it up to do so, doesn’t shove an online account down your throat, force you to accept updates on their schedule including reboots when you’re trying to get something done…

    No, my machine is my machine and it does what I need and tell it to do, not what some multi trillion dollar company thinks it should do.



  • I really can’t stress enough how much power and flexibility comes with an object oriented shell, especially with the dotnet type system behind it.

    I think most people who hate it just do so either because it came from Microsoft (which… Yeah, that’s understandable), or because it’s a different way of thinking about it (and/or they spent a lot of effort learning how to parse data from strings effectively and hate that it’s made easier?). But love or hate it, it is effective and powerful, and I find myself missing that when working with bash.
