  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.

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

  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?

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

        I manage hundreds of windows server VMs as a matter of routine. At that scale the efficiency of the command line wins out.

        I remember living in a place with such shitty internet I had scripts for ipconfig release and renew on my desktop because I needed them five times a day.

    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
