  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.

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

    Windows Terminal defaults to PowerShell since a while.

    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.

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

        I don’t. No that this has to be true for others but I use the command line for ping, ipconfig, and winget.

    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.
