    I know the basics off by heart. Not the hardest command syntax to learn all things considered.

    The most annoying would be the growing collection of “uber commands” which are much more of a pain in the ass - aws, systemctl, docker, kubectl, npm, cargo, etc. - the executable has potentially dozens of subcommands, each of which has dozens of parameters.

      These “uber commands” tend to be much better since they are more explorable with --help explanations and readable flags.

      Much better than the random jumble of characters you’re expected to have memorised for awk, sed, find et al.

        Powershell is horrible all right. What annoys me is they alias ls, dir and other common commands onto commands which don’t act or behave in the same way at all. I just run bash or command prompt rather than deal with the bs of powershell.
