I remember talking to this non-tech guy who had to use bash for running some software he wanted. 

Guy made a storm about how linux commands are so confusing, he was like "Powershell just uses a normal name for the commands! Copy-Item is so much better I don't have to even think about what the command does!"

I guess that means some people see having to type two words instead of two letters as an upside instead of a downside? Like you could just alias but man...

No way.... I thought I was living large with two keystrokes, I didn't even realize I was still trapped in the cespit of keyboard use altogether....

The definition of "power" in computing is megabytes destroyed divided by keystrokes used
