Powershell does not compare to the nix shell (of any flavour).

Before anybody mentions Cygwin, go start bash and run "edit", ftp, or any other interactive Windows CLI command... Doesn't work, does it?

Maybe some of those are built in and not separate executables? I did at one point rely on Cygwin being able to create bash shell scripts that worked with windows executables, but that was years ago.
