There is still not a neat replacement for wmic in PowerShell. If I want to do the equivalent of
wmic product where name="some shitware" call uninstallit looks like this:$instance = Get-CimInstance win32_process -Filter "Name = 'powershell_ise.exe'" $instance | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName 'Terminate'Like how the hell is that easier to understand Microsoft? Everything else in PowerShell follows a general pattern of Upper Camelcase.
That's just one instance of what I've found working with pwsh at work that leaves me thinking wtf
i also hate powershell, batch all the way. @echo off i my anthem now
I used to love batch as a kid. One time I was feeling devious so I wrote out a little script that deletes system32 and I emailed it to a classmate. I immediately burst into tears after hitting send and called her to let her know to delete the email.
