Then give nushell a go. It's basically a modern implementation of some of the better ideas Powershell had.

    1. Types.

      You explode lists manually into items when calling commands on a variable list of arguments instead of “quoting variables” to prevent them from exploding.

      Who came up with the bullshit idea that exploding strings into words is such a common use case that this footgun is preferable to have an “explode lists” syntax?

    2. Errors. No more set -euo pipefail; shopt -s lastpipe to beat some semblance of sanity into bash

    One of the things I really like about PowerShell is the "verb-noun" convention. It makes things a lot easier when learning by examples. Wtf is a sed or an awk? But New-Item -Type Directory oh yeah that makes sense.
