One shell to rule them all
Sit back and close your eyes. Imagine being a System Administrator in a time where you only need to learn one shell to manage any operating system.

Will it replace Bash for all? No, but I see no reason it can’t be an alternative for someone who wants it to be. The vast majority of current Bash users will likely never migrate, but that is OK. Admins are free to use the tools they desire, but for PowerShell users it is an easy choice. We already know how easy it is to use. although I do believe there will be some open-minded Bash users who after learning a bit of PS will quickly fall in love with what it does well, and what Bash does not, handling structured data. Whether that be JSON, XML, CSV etc., PowerShell is an undeniably a beautiful tool for just that.These are such interesting times to be in in the field of IT.
