PowerShell is like the 1 good product Microsoft has made the las 10 years

That is a dangerous opinion. In my mind, Microsoft has made zero good products.

The fact that Microsoft made it is what keeps me from using it as a daily driver. If it were an open source project I'd use it (on linux even) as my login shell in a heartbeat

The main problem is its different from the main POSIX style shells. Just makes it very confusing to use with its own proprietary functions and commands.
