Absolutely this. Why would anyone want to use an overly-verbose scripting language like PowerShell as an interactive shell, **unless it was their only option**? I am sure someone will package it in the AUR. And I am sure some people will actually use it -- probably just because they have legacy PowerShell scripts/experience and/or they are interfacing with Windows. But I don't see it being very popular, and certainly not enough to be sponsored in the main repos. -- Eli Schwartz
