You’ve just triggered my fight or flight reflex. Three years ago I spent about three months writing an entire .NET/WPF application with nothing but Powershell and XAML. Having access to .NET was nice… but the shell was trying to be too many things at once and the mix of method calls, programs, and cmdlets was infuriating.
I’ll never forgive them for aliasing curl to Invoke-WebRequest instead of the real curl.exe.

it works well, is fast, and a powershell script this one makes can work on Windows pretty easily
