Microsoft "Once upon a time, when DOS walked the earth, the command line was the primary user interface for most of our computers. Then, Windows came along, and Microsoft seemed set on leaving the command prompt to dry up and wither into obscurity. Fortunately, Microsoft has again turned its attention to the command line and, in so doing, has produced one of the most compelling new Windows features eWEEK Labs has ever had the pleasure to test: Windows PowerShell."

Bash is not unintuitive. It is powerful and demands that you respect that power. For example, you could easily implement a "Trash" mechanism in Bash so if you did type that command, your files would be easily retrievable.

I HATE the idea of a shell asking me if I'm sure every time I type a command.
