It's a nit to be sure. Microsoft's insistence on PowerShell nowhere and never is beyond mystifying. Apple at least wraps it's XNU in "standard" libs + shells. WSL is a pile of flaming trash, a footnote to an afterthought.
With MacOS, Terminal is x-term'ish, shell is
zsh, andlsislsOOTB. It's easy to see why people get confused.With Windows, there is no terminal, Powershell is an alien quagmire, and
lsisGet-ChildItem. It's easy to see why people get confused :)Wsl is the bare minimum to make me feel less uncomfortable on windows, even if it's just for file operations and to ssh into a real computer.
