Why u gotta hate on PowerShell like that? I like it. ๐ญ
Probably because it's the scripting language equivalent to Clippy. Ref.: Approved "verbs"
I really appreciate the consistency. People also dog it for being verbose to write but it makes it so much more legible.
/shrug
I usually write verbose code and use self-documenting function names, but to have such a limited set of verbs available can be frustrating. They could at least have used a proper dictionary and included all verbs. Then have a map of synonyms that are preferred, like instead of 'create' they prefer 'new' (which isn't even a verb).
