Subject: [COFF] Powershell better than Bourne shell?
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2021 10:03:10 +1100	[thread overview]

I recently had a discussion with some colleagues on the topic of
shells.  Two people whom I respect both told me that Microsoft's
Powershell runs rings round the Bourne shell.

Somehow that sounds like anathema to me, but it's not beyond the
bounds of possibility.  Before I waste time investigating, can anybody
here give me some insights?
