i'ma go ask and see if it was the other way around hold on

WAIT that might make me remember. Ken can sleep another hour.

Oh, man, don't.

Powershell is so less worse, it does not even compare.

I can tell it's been a while since you used windows 😁.

Some of us are forced to btw.

Modern "command prompt" on windows is called Terminal and supports both PowerShell and CMD commands.

Who is the “common person” listing directory contents via the command line instead of the explorer window?

Well who uses powershell? Common people open command prompt and it doesn’t support ls.

Windows Terminal is shipped with Windows and defaults to PowerShell. Too bad Windows ships some ancient PS version by default but winget install Microsoft.PowerShell isn't that complicated.

You could define Powershell as the default shell in Windows 10, so that you wouldn't need to explicitly invoke it every time - although, which (non-technical) user does this?

Windows 11 changed the default to Powershell so that you'll always land in Powershell and need to invoke the old CMD explicitly. Also the new Terminal (optional in Win10, Default in Win11) defaults to Powershell.
