ls works on Windows just fine. PowerShell understands this command since a long time, maybe even since the very beginning (not looking through the git commits, just to find out).

Well who uses powershell? Common people open command prompt and it doesn’t support ls.

Oh, man, don’t.
Powershell is so less worse, it does not even compare.

I can tell it’s been a while since you used windows 😁.
Some of its are forced to btw.
Modern “command prompt” on windows is called Terminal and supports both PowerShell and CMD commands.

Terminal is just the tabbed app to open any command line interface.

Windows Terminal defaults to PowerShell since a while.

Who is the “common person” listing directory contents via the command line instead of the explorer window?

Tech workers

Hi it is me. When you have 500 files in a folder sometimes
dir Jobnumber_string*.part is faster than using explorer

You could define Powershell as the default shell in Windows 10, so that you wouldn’t need to explicitly invoke it every time - although, which (non-technical) user does this?
Windows 11 changed the default to Powershell so that you’ll always land in Powershell and need to invoke the old CMD explicitly. Also the new Terminal (optional in Win10, Default in Win11) defaults to Powershell.

Wait. I always just invoked cmd explicitly to get the command prompt. What the hell was I supposed to be doing to get the command prompt

Powershell is starting to become more common. But simple directory listing is actually much faster in cmd as Powershell treats everything as an object while cmd just dumps the contents as text.
