I tried to use it for admin in a Windows environment, but half the modules I needed wouldn't work in Linux which made it pretty much useless.

I've used powershell in previous jobs and if you learn it really well I cannot deny it is super powerful.

For a college project, a friend of mine somehow made a hexadecimal file dumper with it, with formatting and everything (think like what you would see in wireshark) in one, reasonably long, line of powershell.

However I'm just not a big fan of it personally for syntactical reasons (even with the syntax being super logical) and much prefer bash, or other unix-like native shells. I've been thinking about taking zsh for a spin recently to see what it's like.

I dont use powershell.
I use ZSH on My Gaming PC cause its POSIX and and has autocorrect and auto complete also with CachyOS They replicate fish features.
I use the Default good'ol bash on my Laptop running Debian that's on Life support because I dont care.
I tried Fish but didnt like the no POSIX compliance(ik they wanna fix POSIX but its annoying)

I have used powershell on windows and Linux and I really like that the data that is moved through a pipe is encapsulated in objects. But in the end I stuck with zsh.

What's wrong with bash? Something missing or not to your liking? It can be configured

i just wish bash had structured data and basic types, that's it

only when dealing with azure for work. otherwise bash/python work just fine and have for me for the last 30 odd years.

I do, but only for work. There are certain tasks you can't do easily with just api calls.

I use zsh on my work computers and fish on my desktop. Zsh is still POSIX compatible so is more bash-like. Fish is nice. When I use bash or zsh I want to use oh-my-zsh but with fish I haven't found myself wanting anything extra like that.

I use xonsh.
