Damn straight it's "mature and appropriate"

MicroSoft has been found guilty of MANY crimes that set the software
industry back many years through serial acquisitions & monopolistic
practices

Corporate immaturity, unfair and illegal practices have driven the rise of
the Free Software Foundation, Emacs & OrgMode

It's why were all here using OrgMode and supporting it--its ALL about
freedom and free and open source software

MicroSoft PowerShell is a participation in immaturity & stupidity

It's fashioned off of shells that really work rather than stripped down
nonsense that Gates stole and called his own--i.e. "quick and dirty
DOS"--which still works a little bit, on worthless machines enslaved by
MicroSoft products

Grow up: MicroSoft products are evil and enslaving

Now that said, I've used PowerShell; but, only when I had to--I strongly
suggest you do the same
