I've always struggled with actually retaining knowledge on how to use the myriad tools you'd usually need to extract/parse data (awk, sed and friends) and this was a game changer. I don't quite daily drive it just yet but when I do need it, it's vastly more ergonomic.
love to read fellow* people in the unix world discovering what made powershell great 10+ years ago as though it's a paradigm shift. and the top comment of the thread is still nitpicking the points in the post while missing the forest for the trees. I mean ifconfig as an example is lol but still.
like powershell's got such bizarre warts and design choices and it's more ergonomic than unstructured text pipelines despite that
i know it's not that simple but still, lol
*linux has been my primary os for 9+ years, not throwing stones here
